Chondrinidae is a family of mostly minute air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the order Pulmonata.

Anatomy

In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 26 and 30 (according to the values in this table).^[3]

According to the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Chondrinidae has no subfamilies.

Kokshoorn B. & Gittenberger (2010)^[2] established a new subfamily to system of Chondrinidae:^[2]
