Urocoptidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Urocoptoidea.[2]

Taxonomy[]

2005 taxonomy[]

The family Urocoptidae was classified in the superfamily Orthalicoidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[3]

The family Urocoptidae consists of 7 subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):

  • Urocoptinae Pilsbry, 1898 (1868) - synonym: Cylindrellidae Tryon, 1868
  • Paul, 1982
  • H. B. Baker, 1956
  • P. Fischer & Crosse, 1873
  • Pilsbry, 1946
  • Pilsbry, 1904 - synonyms: Johaniceraminae Jaume & de la Torre, 1972; Macroceraminae Jaume & de la Torre, 1972
  • Bartsch, 1943

2008 taxonomy[]

Uit de Weerd (2008)[2] moved the Urocoptidae to the newly established superfamily Urocoptoidea based on molecular phylogeny research.[2]

The following cladogram based on Bayesian analysis of sequences of 28S ribosomal RNA shows the phylogenic relations within the Urocoptoidea.[2] There are up to 2008 genetically analyzed species of Urocoptidae and one species of Cerionidae marked in khaki color in the cladogram.[2]

2012 taxonomy[]

Fred G. Thompson established the family Epirobiidae in 2012 for five genera of snails (, , , , ), that were previously placed within Urocoptidae.[4] Data from molecular phylogeny research as well as morphology supports monophyly of Holospiridae Pilsbry, 1946 and the Eucalodiidae Crosse & Fischer, 1868.[4]
