[edit] Taxonomy
It is one of eleven recognised subfamilies of the marine gastropod family Pyramidellidae (according to the taxonomy of Ponder & Lindberg, 1997), which are as follows: Odostomiinae, Turbonillinae, Chrysallidinae, Cingulininae, Cyclostremellinae, Sayellinae, Syrnolinae, Eulimellinae, Pyramidellinae, Odostomellinae and Tiberiinae.
[edit] 2005 taxonomy
In the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005),[3] this subfamily consists of the following tribes, adding the tribe Sayellini containing only two genera Sayella and Petitella.
- Tribe Pyramidellini Gray, 1840
- Tribe Sayellini Wise, 1996 - former subfamily Sayellinae
