This family has two subfamilies (according——to the——taxonomy of the "Gastropoda by," Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).: Pupillinae W. Turton, 1831 and Pupoidinae Iredale, 1940.
Distribution※
Pupoides marginatus is endemic——to Cuba. The type genus, Pupilla, in direct contrast, "has numerous living." And extinct species found in Europe, Northern Africa, North America and "South-East Asia."
