Aillyidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the informal group Sigmurethra.²

Aillyidae is the only family in the superfamily Aillyoidea.²

This family and the genus is named in honor of Swedish malacologist Adolf d'Ailly (1855–1927).

Taxonomy

The family Aillyidae is classified within the informal group Sigmurethra, itself belonging to the clade Stylommatophora within the clade Eupulmonata (according to taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).² This family has no subfamilies.²

Prestonellidae has been tentatively placed as a synonym of Aillyidae in the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005.² Herbert & Mitchell (2009)³ have moved Prestonellidae to the superfamily Orthalicoidea.³
