Cyclophoroidea is a superfamily of land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropods within the order Architaenioglossa, that belongs to the subclass Caenogastropoda. [1]
These terrestrial gastropods have lost the ctenidium (comb-like respiratory apparatus) and osphradium, and the pallial cavity has been modified as a lung.
According to the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), this superfamily consists of the following families :
Littorinimorpha is a large order of snails, gastropods, consisting primarily of sea snails, but also including some freshwater snails and land snails.
Dicharax is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Alycaeidae.
Streptaxidae is a family of carnivorous air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the clade Stylommatophora. Six Streptaxidae subfamilies are accepted in the 2005 taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi.
Assimineidae is a family of minute snails, also known as palmleaf snails, with an operculum, gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the superfamily Rissoidae. Many of these very small snails live in intermediate habitats, being amphibious between saltwater and land; others live in freshwater.
Diplommatinidae is a family of small land snails, also known as staircase snails, with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cyclophoroidea. The Cochlostomatinae Kobelt, 1902, were previously considered a subfamily of the Diplommatinidae, but are now known to be a separate family.
Cyclophoridae is a taxonomic family of small to large tropical land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the order Architaenioglossa belonging to the subclass Caenogastropoda.
Enidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks.
Pupinidae is a taxonomic family of land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cyclophoroidea.
Megalomastomatidae is a family of tropical land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cyclophoroidea.
Neocyclotidae is a family of tropical land snails with gills and an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the informal group Architaenioglossa belonging to the clade Caenogastropoda.
The family Pomatiidae is a taxonomic family of small operculate land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks that can be found over the warmer parts of the Old World. In the older literature, this family is designated as Pomatiasidae.
Cyclophorus is a genus of operculate land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Cyclophoridae.
Architaenioglossa is a taxonomic group of snails which have gills and often an operculum. They are primarily land and freshwater gastropod mollusks within the clade Caenogastropoda.
Plectopylidae is a taxonomic family of large air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Plectopyloidea.
Alycaeidae is a taxonomic family of small to large tropical land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cyclophoroidea.
Leptopoma is a genus of land snails with a gill and an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Cyclophoridae.
The taxonomy of the Gastropoda as it was revised in December 2017 by Philippe Bouchet and eight other authors, is a publication which lays out a newly revised system for the scientific classification of gastropod mollusks. The same work also included the taxonomy of monoplacophorans.
Pterocyclos is a genus of tropical land snails in the subfamily Cyclophorinae of the family Cyclophoridae.
Scabrina is a genus of operculate land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Cyclophorinae of the family Cyclophoridae.
