Diversity [1]
1243 species (including Simpulopsidae and Bothriembryon).

Bulimulidae is a taxonomic family of medium-sized to large, air-breathing, tropical and sub-tropical land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Orthalicoidea. [2]

Contents

Distribution

Distribution of species in the family Bulimulidae includes Ecuador (9 genera) [3] and other South American countries. Some species also occur in North America.

Fossil record

The family's oldest fossil record dates from the late Cretaceous of Brazil (Itaboraí Basin). [4] [5]

Anatomy

Members of this family have a haploid chromosome number between 26 and 30 (according to the values in this table). [6]

Shells of species within Bostrycinae have a smooth protoconch and the genital organs feature a relatively long penis sheath (ca. 1/4–1/6 total phallus length). [7]

Taxonomy

Previously, the members of the Orthalicidae were also included in this family, as the subfamily Orthalicinae, and the taxa listed here were placed in their own subfamily, the Bulimulinae. [8]

2005 taxonomy

Bulimulinae was placed in the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). [9]

The subfamily Bulimulinae included 3 tribes: [9]

2010 taxonomy

Breure et al. (2010) [1] moved Bothriembryon to Placostylidae (since 2012 as Bothriembryontidae), elevated Bulimulinae to Bulimulidae and Odontostomini to Odontostomidae. [1]

2012 taxonomy

Breure & Romero (2012) [10] confirmed previous results from 2010, additionally they elevated Simpulopsini to Simpulopsidae. [10] There are three subfamilies within Bulimulidae: [10]

Genera

Genera in the family Bulimulidae include:

subfamily Bulimulinae Tryon, 1887
(synonym: Berendtiinae P. Fischer & Crosse, 1872)
subfamily Peltellinae
subfamily Bostrycinae
Unassigned within Bulimulidae
