Orthalicoidea
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Orthalicoidea is a superfamily of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the infraorder Orthalicoidei of the suborder Helicina.[1]
Distribution
The Orthalicoidea is a dominant faunal element in the Neotropics, but also has a number of genera with a Gondwanan distribution.[2]
Taxonomy
2005 taxonomy
This taxonomy, as accepted by Bouchet & Rocroi, was based on the study by Nordsieck, published in 1986,[3] and the classification as formulated by Schileyko in 1999.[4] However Bouchet & Rocroi diverged from this classification in uniting the families Bulimulidae and Orthalacidae. They also considered the family Placostylidae as a distinct family from Orthalicidae, and the family Coelociontidae a distinct family from Urocoptidae. However, the position of the families Megaspiridae and Grangerellidae is doubtful.[5]
The following seven families have been recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):
- Family Cerionidae Pilsbry, 1901
- Family Coelociontidae Iredale, 1937
- † Family Grangerellidae Russell, 1931
- Family Megaspiridae Pilsbry, 1904
- Family Orthalicidae Albers, 1860
- Family Placostylidae Pilsbry, 1946
- Family Urocoptidae Pilsbry, 1898 (1868)
- Vidaliellidae H. Nordsieck, 1986 †
2008 taxonomy
Uit de Weerd moved two families Urocoptidae and Cerionidae to newly established superfamily Urocoptoidea based on molecular phylogeny research in 2008.[6]
2009 taxonomy
Family Prestonellidae van Bruggen, 1978 - A study by Herbert and Mitchell, published in 2009, places this enigmatic family, of which the phylogenetic relationships were previously unknown, in the Gondwanan superfamily Orthalicoidea,[7] while it was previously tentatively placed as a synonym of Aillyidae.[5]
2010 taxonomy
Breure et al. (2010)[8] moved Prestonella and Bothriembryon to Placostylidae and they elevated Bulimulinae to Bulimulidae, Odontostomini to Odontostomidae, Amphibuliminae to Amphibulimidae.[8] They also removed Coelociontidae from Orthalicoidea.[8]
2012 taxonomy
Breure & Romero (2012)[9] confirmed previous results from 2010, additionally they elevated Simpulopsini to Simpulopsidae, renamed Placostylidae to Bothriembryontidae.[9] Therefore, there are recognized seven extant[9] families and one extinct[5] family within Orthalicoidea:
- Amphibulimidae P. Fischer, 1873
- Bothriembryontidae Iredale, 1937
- Bulimulidae Tryon, 1867
- † Grangerellidae Russell, 1931
- Megaspiridae Pilsbry, 1904
- Odontostomidae Pilsbry & Vanatta, 1898
- Orthalicidae Albers, 1860
- Simpulopsidae Schileyko, 1999
- † Vidaliellidae H. Nordsieck, 1986
