This family has been named Placostylidae and had no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[4]
Breure et al. (2010)[5] moved Prestonella and Bothriembryon to Placostylidae.
Breure & Romero (2012)[2] confirmed previous results from 2010 and they renamed Placostylidae to Bothriembryontidae.[2]
Prestonellinae was formally described as a new subfamily within Bothriembryontidae in 2016.[6] Therefore three subfamilies are recognized in Bothriembryontidae:
Genera within the family Bothriembryontidae include:
Bothriembryontinae
Placostylinae
Prestonellinae
