Pleurodontidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea. [1]
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
[edit]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.
Genera
[edit]Genera within this family include:
- Coloniconcha Pilsbry, 1933 - with the only species Coloniconcha prima Pilsbry, 1933[3]
- Dentellaria Schumacher, 1817 - either separate genus (with a synonym: Lucerna)[4] or as a synonym of Pleurodonte[5]
- Discolepis Ancey, 1904
- Eurycratera Beck, 1837[6]
- Eurycratera jamaicensis (Gmelin, 1791)[6]
- † Ganeselloides Yen, 1969

- Solaropsis Beck, 1837
- Thelidomus Swainson, 1840[8] (or in Camaenidae)
- Zachrysia Pilsbry, 1926[9][10] (or in Camaenidae)
