Streptaxidae
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Streptaxidae is a family of carnivorous air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the clade Stylommatophora.
Streptaxidae are monophyletic while all subfamilies and several genera are polyphyletic. [1]
Six Streptaxidae subfamilies are accepted in the 2005 taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi.
Streptaxidae are carnivorous except for one species Edentulina moreleti, which is herbivorous.[2] All streptaxids have well-developed radula, except Careoradula perelegans, which is the only known terrestrial gastropod without radula.[3]
Altogether 66 species from the family Streptaxidae are listed in the 2010 IUCN Red List.[4]
Distribution
The historical area of origin of the Streptaxidae is probably Gondwanaland.[5]
The family is widely distributed across the tropical and subtropical areas of South America, Africa and Asia.[6] The Recent native distribution of Streptaxidae includes South America, Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, Seychelles, Mayotte, Comores, Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues, India, Sri Lanka, Andamans, South-East Asia and the Philippines.[7] The genus Gibbulinella is found in the Canary Islands.[7]
The species diversity of Streptaxidae reaches its maximum in sub-Saharan Africa.[6]
With 13 genera and about 130 nominal species, the second most diverse streptaxid fauna can be found in Southeast Asia.[6] Streptaxidae are the most diverse among tropical Asian carnivorous snails.[6] In Indochina, streptaxid diversity was thought to comprise only 10 genera and about 40 species in 1967.[8] However, in 2006–2016, 21 new species (more than half the previous total) and one new genus had been described from Indochina.[8] Thirty-seven species are recorded from Thailand, 10 from Myanmar, 45 from Vietnam,[8][9] and 12 from Laos.[8]
Description
Streptaxids can generally be recognized by their eccentric or cylindrical shells, while the animals have a bright yellow to red or orange body with external hook-like structures on the everted penis.[6]
Early classifications of the family such as Wilhelm Kobelt (1905–6), used mainly shell shape and the arrangement of apertural dentition.[8] However, many shell characters are highly conserved or occur recurrently, making some species and genera difficult to separate.[8] The reproductive organs of streptaxids can also be taxonomically significant.[8]
Taxonomy
Prior to Schileyko's revision in 2000 only two subfamilies, the Streptaxinae and the Enneinae had been recognized, which were primarily based on their shell morphology.[6]
2005 taxonomy
Only the one family, Streptaxidae, was recognized within the Streptaxoidea in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005).[10]
There are 7 subfamilies in the family Streptaxidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005, that follows Schileyko (2000):[11]
- Enneinae Bourguignat, 1883[12] - synonym: Streptostelidae Bourguignat, 1889
- Gulellinae Rowson, 2024
- Marconiinae Schileyko, 2000[13]
- Odontartemoninae Schileyko, 2000[14]
- Orthogibbinae Germain, 1921[15] - synonyms: Gibbinae Steenberg, 1936; Gonidominae Steenberg, 1936
- Primigulellinae Rowson, 2024
- Streptaxinae Gray, 1860 - synonym: Artemonidae Bourguignat, 1889
- Synonyms
- Ptychotrematinae Pilsbry, 1919:[16] synonym of Enneinae Bourguignat, 1883
2010 taxonomy
Sutcharit et al. (2010)[7] have established a new family Diapheridae within Streptaxoidea and they have added two genera Diaphera and Sinoennea into Diapheridae.[7]
The later review "A review of the Diapheridae" in 2020 by Páll-Gergely, B., Hunyadi, A., Grego, J., Sajan, S., Tripathy, B. & Chen, Z.-Y. showed the family Diapheridae to stand separate from Streptaxidae. [17]
In the recent decades, most of the taxonomic and systematic research on streptaxids has been performed on sub-Saharan African taxa.[6] Only a few publications focus on South American or Asian groups.[6]
