This taxon consists of four following tribes (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):

• Colloniinae Cossmann, 1917
  • tribe Colloniini Cossmann, 1917 - synonym: Bothropomatinae Thiele, 1924 (inv.); Homalopomatinae Keen, 1960; Petropomatinae Cox, 1960
  • tribe † Adeorbisinini Monari, Conti & szabo, 1995
  • tribe † Crossostomatini Cox, 1960
  • tribe † Helicocryptini Cox, 1960

2008 taxonomy

Colloniidae was elevated to family level and (together with Phasianellidae) belongs to superfamily Phasianelloidea according to Williams et al. (2008).^[2] McLean (2012) added two more subfamilies Liotipomatinae and Moelleriinae.^[3]

2017 taxonomy

In 2017 Colloniidae was classified in the order Trochida.^[4]

It contains the following subfamilies:

• † Crossostomatinae Cox, 1960
• Colloniinae
• † Lewisiellinae Gründel, 2008
• Liotipomatinae
• Moelleriinae
• Petropomatinae
