Taxonomy

Carychiinae is part of the family Ellobiidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). [2]

Some authors consider Carychiidae as a separate family. [3]

Genera

Genera within the subfamily Carychiinae include:

Ecology

One lineage of the Ellobioidea, the Carychiidae has successfully accomplished a complete transition onto land. [3] Extant carychiid snails inhabit aphotic and permanently wet epigean ( Carychium ) or subterranean ( Zospeum ) environments throughout their Holarctic distribution. [3] This dramatic shift from a marine to a terrestrial habitat has occurred independently of the stylommatophoran land-snails of the Eupulmonata. [3]

<i>Zospeum</i>

Zospeum is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Ellobiidae, the salt marsh snails.

Ellobiidae Family of gastropods

Ellobiidae, common name the hollow-shelled snails, is a family of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the clade Eupulmonata. Ellobiidae is the only family in the superfamily Ellobioidea, according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

<i>Carychium</i> Genus of gastropods

Carychium is a genus of very small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Ellobiidae.

<i>Zospeum tholussum</i>

Zospeum tholussum is a cave-dwelling species of air-breathing land snails in the family Ellobiidae. It is a very small species, with a shell height of less than 2 mm (0.08 in) and a shell width of around 1 mm (0.04 in). Z. tholussum individuals are completely blind and possess translucent shells with five to six whorls. The second whorl of their shells has a characteristic dome-like shape. They are also extremely slow-moving and may depend on passive transportation through running water or larger animals for dispersal.

<i>Angustopila dominikae</i> Species of gastropod

Angustopila dominikae is a species of light grey, round, land snails, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Hypselostomatidae. Angustopila dominikae have been found in southern China, and are considered to be the world's smallest terrestrial mollusk. This species is a variation of tropical snail found on limestone caves and cliffs. As is the case in most other members of the genus Angustopila, A. dominikae is a troglobiont species.

<i>Angustopila</i> Genus of gastropods

Angustopila is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Hypselostomatidae.

<i>Zospeum percostulatum</i>

Zospeum percostulatum is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Ellobiidae, the salt marsh snails. This species is endemic to Asturias, Spain. It is known from several limestone caves near Llanes. Though there were a few old records of Zospeum in Asturias, dubiously identified as Z. suarezi and Z. schaufussi, Zospeum percostulatum is the first species described for this autonomous community.
