Template:Short description Template:Automatic Taxobox

Ariophantidae is a taxonomic family of air-breathing land snails and semi-slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicarionoidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[1]

Distribution

The distribution of the family Ariophantidae includes India and south-eastern Asia.[2]

Anatomy

Snails within this family make and use love darts made of chitin.[3]

In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 21 and 25 and also lies between 31 and 35, but other values are also possible (according to the values in this table).[4]
