Bulimulidae is a taxonomic family of medium-sized to large, air-breathing, tropical and sub-tropical land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.[3]
Distribution
Distribution of species in the family Bulimulidae includes Ecuador (9 genera)[4] and other South American countries.
Fossil record
The family's oldest fossil record dates from the Middle Paleocene of Brazil (Itaboraí Basin).[5]
Anatomy
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
Previously, the members of the Orthalicidae were also included in this subfamily, as the subfamily Orthalicinae, and the taxa listed here were placed in their own subfamily, the Bulimulinae.[8]
2005 taxonomy
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
Breure et al. (2010)[2] moved Bothriembryon to Placostylidae (since 2012 as Bothriembryontidae), elevated Bulimulinae to Bulimulidae and Odontostomini to Odontostomidae.[2]
2012 taxonomy
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]
