  • Helminthope Salvini-Plawen, 1991
  • Rhodope Koelliker, 1847

Taxonomy

Molecular work has shown that this family is a basal clade of heterobranch Mollusca. Anatomically aberrant, Rhodopidae have been shown to be related to snails of the family Murchisonellidae which all have a narrow shell with many whorls.[3]
