The latest Malacologia is a compilation of all gastropod family-level
names (tribe, subfamily, superfamily, etc,) by Bouchet and Rocroi.

Xanthonychidae is the spelling they use as gramatically correct, while
noting an original spelling of Xanthonycidae.  They treat
Helminthoglyptidae and Xanthonychidae as separate families.

They treat Chondropomatinae as a subjective synonym of Annulariinae,
which is in the family Pomatiidae (the latter name replaces
Cyclostomatidae).
