Heleobia is one of three genera (together with Semisalsa and Heleobops) within the subfamily Semisalsinae.Kroll O., Hershler R., Albrecht C., Terrazas E. M., Apaza R., Fuentealba C., Wolff C. & Wilke T. (2012). "The endemic gastropod fauna of Lake Titicaca: correlation between molecular evolution and hydrographic history". Ecology and Evolution 2(7): 1517-1530. . Some authors treated Semisalsa as a subgenus of Heleobia.
