Disculella is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies. [1]
Species within the genus Disculella include:
Henry Augustus Pilsbry was an American biologist, malacologist and carcinologist, among other areas of study. He was a dominant presence in many fields of invertebrate taxonomy for the better part of a century. For much of his career, his authority with respect to the classification of certain substantial groups of organisms was unchallenged: barnacles, chitons, North American terrestrial mollusks, and others.
Bulimulus is a genus of small to medium-sized tropical or sub-tropical, air-breathing land snails, pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Bulimulinae within the family Bulimulidae.
Dendrotrochus is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Trochomorphidae, the hive snails.
Leiostyla is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Lauriidae.
Leucocharis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Placostylinae of the family Bothriembryontidae.
Monadenia is a genus of air-breathing land snails in the subfamily Monadeniinae.
Disculella spirulina is a species of gastropod in the Geomitridae family.
Ptychotrema is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Enneinae of the family Streptaxidae.
Samoana is a genus of tropical, air-breathing, land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Partulidae.
Trissexodon is a monotypic genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Trissexodontinae of the family Trissexodontidae.
Camaenidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea, the typical snails and their allies. This is one of the most diverse families in the clade Stylommatophora.
Lauria is a genus of land snails in the family Lauriidae.
Polygyridae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.
Bothriembryontidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.
George Washington Tryon Jr. was an American malacologist who worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia.
Punctum is a genus of very small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the subfamily Punctinae of the family Punctidae, the dot snails.
Plekocheilus is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Amphibulimidae.
Geomitridae is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.
Gastrocoptidae is a family of minute, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Pupilloidea.
Pfeifferia is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicostylinae of the family Camaenidae.
