Amphibulimidae is a taxonomic family of land snails, semi-slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Orthalicoidea. [2] [3]
Distribution of the family Amphibulimidae include northern part of South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador), Central America and the West Indies (Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique). [4]
This taxon was placed as a subfamily Amphibuliminae within the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). [5] There was classified also semi-slug Peltella Gray, 1855 within Amphibuliminae and Peltellinae Gray, 1855 was considered as a synonym of Amphibuliminae. [5]
Breure et al. (2010) [2] elevated Amphibuliminae to Amphibulimidae. [2]
Breure & Romero (2012) [3] removed Peltella to subfamily Peltellinae within Bulimulidae. [3]
