Diversity[1]
1243 species (including Simpulopsidae and Bothriembryon).

Distribution

edit

Distribution of species in the family Bulimulidae includes Ecuador (9 genera)[3] and other South American countries. Some species also occur in North America.

Fossil record

edit

The family's oldest fossil record dates from the late Cretaceous of Brazil (Itaboraí Basin).[4][5]

Anatomy

edit

Members of this family have a haploid chromosome number between 26 and 30 (according to the values in this table).[6]

Shells of species within Bostrycinae have a smooth protoconch and the genital organs feature a relatively long penis sheath (ca. 1/4–1/6 total phallus length).[7]

Taxonomy

edit

Previously, the members of the Orthalicidae were also included in this family, as the subfamily Orthalicinae, and the taxa listed here were placed in their own subfamily, the Bulimulinae.[8]

2005 taxonomy

edit

Bulimulinae was placed in the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[9]

The subfamily Bulimulinae included 3 tribes:[9]

  • Tribe Bulimulini Tryon, 1867 - synonyms: Bulimidae Guilding, 1828 (inv.); Berendtiinae P. Fischer & Crosse, 1872; Bothiembryontidae Iredale, 1937
  • Tribe Odontostomini Pilsbry & Vanatta, 1898 - synonym: Tomogeridae Jousseaume, 1877
  • Tribe Simpulopsini Schileyko, 1999

2010 taxonomy

edit

Breure et al. (2010)[1] moved Bothriembryon to Placostylidae (since 2012 as Bothriembryontidae), elevated Bulimulinae to Bulimulidae and Odontostomini to Odontostomidae.[1]

2012 taxonomy

edit

Breure & Romero (2012)[10] confirmed previous results from 2010, additionally they elevated Simpulopsini to Simpulopsidae.[10] There are three subfamilies within Bulimulidae:[10]

  • subfamily Bulimulinae Tryon, 1867
  • subfamily Peltellinae Gray, 1855
  • subfamily Bostrycinae Breure, 2012[10][7]

Genera

edit

Genera in the family Bulimulidae include:

subfamily Bulimulinae Tryon, 1887
(synonym: Berendtiinae P. Fischer & Crosse, 1872)
subfamily Peltellinae
subfamily Bostrycinae
Unassigned within Bulimulidae
