Taxonomy
- Family Velutinidae Gray, 1840
- Subfamily Velutininae Gray, 1840
- Subfamily Lamellariinae d’Orbigny, 1841
- Family Triviidae Troschel, 1863
This classification follows the study by Ponder & Warén, published in 1988.[2] However, there were some adaptations for the family Triviidae, based on the study by Schilder, published in 1966.[3]
