Genera and species

See text

Epiphragmophorinae is a subfamily of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Xanthonychidae (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[2] This family has no subfamilies.[2]

Shileyko (2004) listed 40 species within Epiphragmophorinae.[3] There are about 65 recognized species within Epiphragmophorinae in 2017.[4]

Anatomy

This family is defined by the absence of a diverticulum. These snails have one dart apparatus with a stylophore (dart sac), and one or two mucus glands that are inserted on the dart sac and on the accessory sac, or at the base of the dart sac.[citation needed]

Genera

Genera within the family Epiphragmophorinae include:

  • Angrandiella Ancey, 1886[3]
  • Dinotropis Pilsbry & Cockerell, 1937[3]
  • Doeringina Ihering, 1929[3]
  • Epiphragmophora Doering, 1874[5] - the type genus of the family Epiphragmophoridae.[2] It occurs from Argentina to Bolivia.[6]
  • Minaselates Cuezzo & Pena, 2017 - with the only species Minaselates paradoxa Cuezzo & Pena, 2017[4]
  • Pilsbrya Ancey, 1887 - synonym: Poecilostola Ancey 1886[3]
