This taxon is ranked at subfamily level Rostellariinae within the family Strombidae in the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).^[2] Above this rank the superfamily Caenogastropoda contains the unranked clades Hypsogastropoda and Littorinimorpha respectively.

Rostellariidae is ranked at family level for example by Morrison (2008).^[3]^[why?]
