Athoracophorinae is one of two subfamilies in the family Athoracophoridae, which in turn is the only family in the superfamily Athoracophoroidea.[4] The following two subfamilies have been recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005),[4] that follows the classification of Grimpe & Hoffmann (1925):[5]
Athoracophorinae P. Fischer, 1883 (1860) - synonym: Janellidae Gray, 1853 (inv.), found in New Zealand, including its subantarctic islands.[3]
Aneitinae Gray, 1860, found in eastern Australia, New Guinea (including the Bismarck Archipelago and Admiralty Islands), Vanauatu, and New Caledonia.[3]
