Bothriembryon is a genus of tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Bothriembryontidae.[1]

B. J. Smith (1992)[2] made the last review of the genus summarizing all known data.[3]

Distribution

The land snail genus Bothriembryon is endemic to Australia but forms part of the Gondwanan element in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.[3] Bothriembryon species are mostly patchy in their distribution.[3]

Fossils of Bothriembryon have been found on the Nullarbor Plain in southern Australia, dating to the late Pliocene.[4]

Taxonomy

This genus was classified with the Bulimulidae by Pilsbry (1900),[5] Breure (1979)[6] and by B. J. Smith (1992).[2][3]

It was classified in tribe Bulimulini, in subfamily Bulimulinae within the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005.[7]

Breure et al. (2010)[8] moved Bothriembryon to Placostylidae.[8]

Breure & Romero (2012)[1] confirmed previous results from 2010 and they renamed Placostylidae to Bothriembryontidae.[1]
