Planaxidae sunt taxinomica familia parvorum et minutorum gastropodorum pantropicorum et maritimorum superfamiliae Cerithoideorum, qui in litoribus saxosis in zona litorali regionum tropicarum et subtropicarum habitant.[2] Congregari in locis humidis aestus recessu solent.
Duae subfamiliae in taxinomia Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) agnoscuntur:
Planaxidae hae genera recentia (contra fossilia) comprehendunt:[3]
