This family is poorly known, but some members of Aclis have varices strongly reminiscent of those seen in Eulimidae ( Bertolaso & Garilli, 2009) . Aclis aurisparva Bertolaso & Garilli, 2009 has scar-like varices on the upper whorls, and further down the spire they become more wing-like processes. The placement of this family is uncertain, but it does have an affinity with Eulimidae , although this may be plesiomorphic ( Takano & Kano, 2014). Further complicating the matter, the family Aclididae is also not well defined and may be paraphyletic ( Warén, 1983).
