A molecular phylogeny-based taxonomy of the Seguenzioidea was published by Kano (2007).Kano Y. (2007). "Vetigastropod phylogeny and a new concept of Seguenzioidea: independent evolution of copulatory organs in the deep-sea habitats".

The family Chilodontidae Wenz, 1938 will be renamed because it is a homonym of the fish family Chilodontidae Eigenmann, 1912; (to be emended to Chilodontaidae by ICZN[https://www.iczn.org/cases/all-cases/case/3555 ICZN Case 3555])

The subfamilies Calliotropinae Hickman & McLean, 1990 and Cataeginae McLean & Quinn, 1987 were raised to family levels as the Calliotropidae and the Cataegidae.
