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. [1]

Plectostoma sciaphilum is an extinct species of land snail in the family Diplommatinidae. This species was originally found on a single limestone karst at Bukit Panching, in Peninsular Malaysia. This species was last observed around 2003 before quarrying destroyed its only known habitat. Plectostoma species are allopatric, found in dozens of isolated karst hills where few species occur, meaning that limited gene flow exists and only negligible hybridization occurs. Shell is distinctly convex, tuba shape similar to that of Plectostoma senex and P. turriforme, but this species lacks basal constriction teeth. Additionally, studies show that Plectostoma species evolved unique shell traits—like dense ribs and thicker walls—as defenses against predators, indicating a complex evolutionary adaptation within this genus. Shell height: 2.6–2.9 mm, width: 1.5–1.6 mm
