clade Hypsogastropoda See text Elachorbis is a genus of minute sea snails or micromolluscs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Tornidae.

Tom Iredale established Elachorbis in 1914 within the family Liotiidae.

Powell (1979)[1] and ITIS (2011)[6] classified Elachorbis within the family Cyclostrematidae (which is a synonym of Liotiidae).

[7] Various authors have classified this genus in the Skeneidae, which is now the Skeneinae, a subfamily within the Turbinidae.

[citation needed] The genus Elachorbis is sometimes referred to the subfamily Vitrinellinae within the family Tornidae.
