Trimusculus is the only genus in the family Trimusculidae.[5] Trimusculidae, the button snails, is the only family in the superfamily Trimusculoidea,[6] a superfamily of false limpets. These are marine pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the clade Eupulmonata.[6]
Trimusculids are not very closely related to the siphonariids, another family of marine air-breathing false-limpets. The trimusculids are in the clade Eupulmonata, and are quite closely related to air-breathing land snails.
