Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Mollusca

Lithoglyphidae is a family of small freshwater snails with gills and an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks.

This family is in the superfamily Truncatelloidea and in the clade Littorinimorpha (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[2]

Taxonomy

Taylor (1966),[3] Ponder & Warén (1988)[4] and Kabat & Hershler (1993)[5] considered this taxon as a subfamily Lithoglyphinae within Hydrobiidae.[6] Radoman (1983)[7] considered Lithoglyphidae as a separate family.[6] Bernasconi (1992)[8] considered this taxon as a tribe Lithoglyphini in the Hydrobiinae within Hydrobiidae.[6]

2005 taxonomy

The family Lithoglyphidae consists of 2 subfamilies according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005.[2] It follows Wilke et al. (2001),[6] Hausdorf et al. (2003)[9] and includes Lepyriidae according to Thompson (1984).[10][2]
