Carychiinae is a taxonomic subfamily of minute air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks.

Taxonomy
Carychiinae is part of the family Ellobiidae (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Some authors consider Carychiidae as a separate family. ==Genera==
Genera
Genera within the subfamily Carychiinae include: • Carychiella Strauch, 1977 • Carychiopsina Kadolsky, 2020 † • Carychiopsis Sandberger, 1872 † • Carychium O. F. Müller, 1773 - type genus of the subfamily Carychiinae • Koreozospeum Jochum, Prozorova, Sharyi-ool & Páll-Gergely, 2015 • Ovicarychium Kadolsky, 2020 † • Turricarychium Kadolsky, 2020 † • Zospeum Bourguignat, 1856 • Zuella Kadolsky, 2020 † == Ecology ==
Ecology
One lineage of the Ellobioidea, the Carychiidae has successfully accomplished a complete transition onto land. Extant carychiid snails inhabit aphotic and permanently wet epigean (Carychium) or subterranean (Zospeum) environments throughout their Holarctic distribution. This dramatic shift from a marine to a terrestrial habitat has occurred independently of the stylommatophoran land-snails of the Eupulmonata. ==References==
