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[]

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[]

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]
  • Ancey, 1904
  • Beck, 1837[6]
    • (Gmelin, 1791)[6]
  • † Yen, 1969
  • Gonostomopsis Pilsbry, 1889
  • Lucerna Swainson, 1840
  • Pleurodonte Fischer de Waldheim, 1807
  • Miller, 1878 - synonym or subgenus of Solaropsis[7]
  • Solaropsis Beck, 1837
  • Thelidomus Swainson, 1840[8] (or in Camaenidae)
  • Zachrysia Pilsbry, 1926[9][10] (or in Camaenidae)
