Epiphragmophorinae is a subfamily of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Xanthonychidae (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). [2] This family has no subfamilies. [2]

Contents

Shileyko (2004) listed 40 species within Epiphragmophorinae. [3] There are about 65 recognized species within Epiphragmophorinae in 2017. [4]

Anatomy

This family is defined by the absence of a diverticulum. These snails have one dart apparatus with a stylophore (dart sac), and one or two mucus glands that are inserted on the dart sac and on the accessory sac, or at the base of the dart sac.[ citation needed ]
