Salinator is a genus of small, air-breathing, terrestrial or semi-marine snails with an operculum, pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Salinatorinae of the family Amphibolidae. [2] [3]

Species within the genus Salinator include:
In 2007, Golding, Ponder, and Byrne suggested that Salinator takii be moved into the newly erected genus Lactiforis , and that Salinator solidus be moved into the newly erected genus Phallomedusa , in a separate family called Phallomedusidae. [2]
