Pleurodontidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea. [1]

Contents

This family is classified within the order Stylommatophora within the superorder Eupulmonata (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). [2] This family has no subfamilies. [2]

The family Pleurodontidae includes some American taxa that used to be included within the Australasian family Camaenidae, a taxon whose monophyly was in doubt.

Anatomy

Pleurodontids are defined by a missing diverticulum. However the diverticulum is partially present in the genus Solaropsis . The stimulatory organ is equally missing. However, Solaropsis has in part a penial stimulator and a divided penis retractor muscle.
