See text Subulininae is a subfamily of small tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Achatinidae.

[3] The taxonomy of the Subulinnae remains a source of discussion.

It has been raised to the level of family under the name Achatinacea ((Fischer and Crosse 1877; Thiele 1931: 549), later followed by Zilch (1959) and Vaught (1989).

This systematic classification was later revealed as polyphyletic (Fontanilla et al. 2017).

[1] In this subfamily, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 26 and 35.
