Amphibulimidae in the World Register of Marine Species


Amphibulimidae is a taxonomic family of land snails in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.[3][4]
Distribution

Amphibulimidae lives across the northern part of South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador), Central America and the West Indies (Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique).[5]
Taxonomy
2005
Main article: Orthalicidae § 2005 taxonomy

This taxon was placed as a subfamily Amphibuliminae within the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[6] There was classified also semi-slug Peltella Gray, 1855 within Amphibuliminae and Peltellinae Gray, 1855 was considered as a synonym of Amphibuliminae.[6]
2010

Breure et al. (2010)[3] elevated Amphibuliminae to Amphibulimidae.[3]
2012

Breure & Romero (2012)[4] removed Peltella to subfamily Peltellinae within Bulimulidae.[4]
Genera

Genera within the family Amphibulimidae include:

Amphibulima Lamarck, 1805 - type genus of the subfamily Amphibuliminae[6]
Dryptus Albers, 1860[7]
