See text Euconulidae is a taxonomic family of minute, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the superfamily Trochomorphoidea.

The family Euconulidae was originally placed within the superfamily Gastrodontoidea according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

[4] Humidity, temperature, rainfall, and foliar dripping derived from dew, mist, and rain, affect the behavior and substrate selection of small terrestrial molluscs, such as Tikoconus costarricanus, which inhabit shrubs in humid tropical montane forests.

[7] These minute snails have a shell which is roundly conical and broad-based, like the shape of an old-fashioned European woven bee hive or skep.

[8] Subfamilies and genera in the family Euconulidae include: Euconulinae Microcystinae The following cladogram shows the phylogenic relationships of this family with the other families within the limacoid clade:[4] Staffordiidae Dyakiidae Pristilomatidae Chronidae Euconulidae Trochomorphidae Gastrodontidae Oxychilidae Trigonochlamydidae Parmacellidae Milacidae Zonitidae Helicarionidae Ariophantidae Urocyclidae Vitrinidae Boettgerillidae Limacidae Agriolimacidae
