Trigonochlamydidae is a family of air-breathing land slugs, terrestrial gastropod molluscs in the clade Eupulmonata (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

Distribution

The native distribution of Trigonochlamydidae includes Caucasus, [1] Iran and Turkey. [3]

Taxonomy

Previously, Trigonochlamydidae was placed in the superfamily Trigonochlamydoidea Hesse, 1882, in the subinfraorder Sigmurethra. This was the only family within that superfamily. [4]

The family Trigonochlamydidae is now classified within the limacoid clade, which itself belongs to the clade Stylommatophora, within the clade Eupulmonata (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

The following two subfamilies have been recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):

Genera

There are nine [3] genera in the family Trigonochlamydidae with a total of 11 species:

Subfamily Trigonochlamydinae

Subfamily Parmacellillinae

Synonym:

Selenochlamys O. Boettger, 1883 has been removed from the Trigonochlamydidae to the Oxychilidae based on DNA evidence. [8]

Stylommatophora is an order of air-breathing land snails and slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. This taxon includes most land snails and slugs. Stylommatophorans lack an operculum, but some close their shell apertures with temporary "operculum" (epiphragm) made of calcified mucus. They have two pairs of retractile tentacles, the upper pair of which bears eyes on the tentacle tips. All stylommatophorans are hermaphrodites.
