According to MolluscaBase, the family of door snails (Clausiliidae) contains seven extant subfamilies, some of which in turn are divided into so-called tribes (tribus) and the into genera and species. For simplification purposes, fossil groups were omitted from this list.

On the concise version of this list only those species and their systematic connections are displayed that are described ón this homepage. The systematic order stated is based on MolluscaBase.
