Anatomy In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 26 and 30 (according to the values in this table).Barker G. M.: Gastropods on Land: Phylogeny, Diversity and Adaptive Morphology. in Barker G. M. (ed.): The biology of terrestrial molluscs. CABI Publishing, Oxon, UK, 2001, . 1-146, cited pages: 139 and 142.
Taxonomy 2005 taxonomy According to the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Chondrinidae has no subfamilies.
2010 taxonomy Kokshoorn B. & Gittenberger (2010) established a new subfamily to system of Chondrinidae:Kokshoorn B. & Gittenberger E. (2010).
