Bothriembryon is a genus of tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Bothriembryontidae. [4]

Contents

B. J. Smith (1992) [5] made the last review of the genus summarizing all known data. [6]

Distribution

The land snail genus Bothriembryon is endemic to Australia but forms part of the Gondwanan element in the superfamily Orthalicoidea. [6] Bothriembryon species are mostly patchy in their distribution. [6]

Taxonomy

This genus was classified with the Bulimulidae by Pilsbry (1900), [7] Breure (1979) [8] and by B. J. Smith (1992). [5] [6]

It was classified in tribe Bulimulini, in subfamily Bulimulinae within the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005. [9]

Breure et al. (2010) [10] moved Bothriembryon to Placostylidae. [10]

Breure & Romero (2012) [4] confirmed previous results from 2010 and they renamed Placostylidae to Bothriembryontidae. [4]
