Trochomorphidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Gastrodontoidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Since 2017, its classification has been revised and it now belongs to the superfamily Trochomorphoidea[3][2]

This family has no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

Distribution

The distribution of Trochomorphidae includes eastern-Palearctic, India, south-eastern Asia, Australian and Polynesia.[4]

Anatomy

In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 26 and 30 (according to the values in this table).[5]
