Echinix is a genus of air-breathing land semi-slugs. [1] Echinix is the only genus in the subfamily Echinichinae, [1] terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Xanthonychoidea. [1] This genus and family was described in December 2012. [1]
The subfamily Echinichinae is endemic to states Tamaulipas and Querétaro in northeastern Mexico. [1]
Species in the genus Echinix include:
Species in the genus Echinix are semi-slugs, which have their shells completely hidden under the mantle. [1] There are numerous glandular papillae on the dorsal part of the body. [1] Dart sac is a part of its reproductive system. [1]

This overview lists proposed changes in the taxonomy of gastropods at the family level and above since 2005, when the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) was published. In other words, these are recent updates in the way various groups of snails and slugs are classified.
Parmacellilla filipowitschi is a species of predatory air-breathing land slug. It is a shell-less pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Trigonochlamydidae.
Eoborus is a fossil genus of medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the family Strophocheilidae. Eoborus is the oldest fossil record of Strophocheilidae, dating from the Middle Paleocene of Brazil and Uruguay. The Brazilian species, alongside Eoborus charruanus from Uruguay, are the oldest fossil record of the family.
Simpulopsidae is a taxonomic family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.
Eoborus sanctijosephi is a fossil species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Strophocheilidae, from the Paleocene Itaboraí Basin, Brazil. Eoborus sanctijosephi is a large species in the genus Eoborus. Its name makes reference to the place of discovery: the São José de Itaboraí municipality, where Itaboraí Basin is located.
Xanthonychoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of air-breathing land snails, land slugs and semi-slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the clade Stylommatophora.
