Urocyclidae in the World Register of Marine Species
Urocyclidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, semi-slugs and land slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicarionoidea, (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[2]
Some species within this family make and use love darts before mating.[citation needed]
