In the taxonomy of Schander, Van Aartsen & Corgan (1999) Turbonillinae is a part of the family Turbonillidae.
According to Schander, Van Aartsen & Corgan (1999) there are 27 genera within the Turbonillinae.
Turbonillinae has been one of eleven recognised subfamilies in the family Pyramidellidae (according to the taxonomy of Ponder & Lindberg, 1997).
In the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), this subfamily comprises the subfamilies Cingulininae and Eulimellinae, that have been downgraded to the rank of tribe.
In 2010 the subfamily Turbonillinae has been recognized as monophyletic
Genera within the subfamily Turbonillinae include:
tribe Turbonillini
tribe Cingulinini
tribe Eulimellini
tribe ?
The following genera were difficult to place within the subfamily Turbonillinae (= Turbonillini + Cingulinini + Eulimellini):
The genus Ebala was previously placed in the Eulimellinae, but was then placed in the family Ebalidae, that is a synonym of Murchisonellidae.
