Bothriembryon is a genus of tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Bothriembryontidae.[4]

B. J. Smith (1992)[5] made the last review of the genus summarizing all known data.[6]

Distribution

The land snail genus Bothriembryon is endemic to Australia but forms part of the Gondwanan element in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.[6] Bothriembryon species are mostly patchy in their distribution.[6]

Taxonomy

This genus was classified with the Bulimulidae by Pilsbry (1900),[7] Breure (1979)[8] and by B. J. Smith (1992).[5][6]

It was classified in tribe Bulimulini, in subfamily Bulimulinae within the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005.[9]

Breure et al. (2010)[10] moved Bothriembryon to Placostylidae.[10]

Breure & Romero (2012)[4] confirmed previous results from 2010 and they renamed Placostylidae to Bothriembryontidae.[4]
