Amphiboloidea
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Amphiboloidea is a taxonomic superfamily of air-breathing land snails.
Distribution
Amphibolids are found in Indo-Pacific intertidal mangrove, saltmarsh and estuarine mudflat habitats.[1]
Taxonomy
2005 taxonomy
According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), it is a superfamily in the informal group Basommatophora, within the Pulmonata.[2]
This superfamily has contained only one family, the Amphibolidae.[2]
2007 taxonomy
Golding et al. (2007)[1] have established new families:
- Maningrididae Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007[1] - with the only species Maningrida arnhemensis[1]
- Phallomedusidae Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007[1]
2010 taxonomy
Basommatophora (Siphonarioidea and Amphiboloidea and Hygrophila) have been found polyphyletic and so Jörger et al. (2010)[3] have moved Amphiboloidea to Panpulmonata.
