Ebala J. E. Gray, 1847 Bermudaclis Bartsch, 1947 Chesapeakella Campbell, 1993 Ebalina Thiele, 1929 Henrya Bartsch, 1947
2005 taxonomy This family has no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
This has been changed in 2013 into two subfamilies.Warén A. (2013) Murchisonellidae: who are they, where are they and what are they doing? (Gastropoda, lowermost Heterobranchia). Vita Malacologica 11: 1-14.
