Taxonomy

1998 taxonomy

The following subfamilies of Enidae are based on work by Schileyko (1998) and they are in use mainly by Russian malacologists: * subfamily Pseudonapaeinae * subfamily Chondrulopsininae * subfamily Merdigerinae * subfamily Buliminusinae * subfamily Andronakiinae * subfamily Retowskiinae * subfamily Eninae - including ''Chondrula'' * subfamily Multidentulini

2005 taxonomy

The following two

subfamilies In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: ', plural ') is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end subfamily botanical names with "-oideae", and zoologi ...
