Strophocheilus |
Strophocheilidae is a taxonomic family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Acavoidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). [2]
The genus Eoborus is the family's oldest fossil record, dating from the Middle Paleocene of Brazil (Itaboraí Basin) [1] [3] and Uruguay (Santa Lucía Basin). [4]
The family Strophocheilidae consists of two subfamilies and genera including:
subfamily Strophocheilinae Pilsbry, 1902
subfamily Megalobuliminae Leme, 1973
[unassigned] Strophocheilidae (temporary name):
Bulimulidae is a taxonomic family of medium-sized to large, air-breathing, tropical and sub-tropical land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.
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.
Megalobulimus is a genus of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Megalobuliminae within the family Strophocheilidae.
Subulininae is a subfamily of small tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Achatinidae.
The Helminthoglyptinae are a subfamily of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks within the family Xanthonychidae.
Ferussaciidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Achatinoidea.
Pleurodontidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.
Brasilennea is a fossil genus of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the family Cerionidae. The genus is known only from the Brazilian Paleocene Itaboraí Basin, in Rio de Janeiro. The most characteristic feature of the genus is its two spiral furrows on the body whorl.
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.
Eoborus rotundus 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 rotundus is a small species for the genus Eoborus, and the shell has a more rounded shape than average for the genus, a feature reflected in its species name.
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.
Plagiodontes is a recent genus of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the family Odontostomidae.
Plagiodontes dentatus is a recent species of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the family Orthalicidae, subfamily Odontostominae. It occurs in Entre Ríos Province, Argentina.
Eoborus fusiforme is a fossil species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Strophocheilidae, from the Paleocene deposits of the Itaboraí Basin, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Temesa is a genus of medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the family Clausiliidae, the door snails. The fossil record of this genus ranges tentatively from the Brazilian Paleocene of the Itaboraí Basin, in Rio de Janeiro State, where the species T. magalhaesi is found.
Bulimulus fazendicus is a fossil species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Bulimulidae, from the Late Paleocene deposits of the Itaboraí Basin in Brazil.
Bulimulus trindadeae is a fossil species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Bulimulidae, from the Paleocene deposits of the Itaboraí Basin in Brazil.
Gastrocoptidae is a family of minute, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Pupilloidea.
