Amphibulimidae is a taxonomic family of land snails, semi-slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.[3][2]

Distribution

Distribution of the family Amphibulimidae include northern part of South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador), Central America and the West Indies (Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique).[4]

Taxonomy

2005 taxonomy

This taxon was placed as a subfamily Amphibuliminae within the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[5] There was classified also semi-slug Peltella Gray, 1855 within Amphibuliminae and Peltellinae Gray, 1855 was considered as a synonym of Amphibuliminae.[5]

2010 taxonomy

Breure et al. (2010)[3] elevated Amphibuliminae to Amphibulimidae.[3]

2012 taxonomy

Breure & Romero (2012)[2] removed Peltella to subfamily Peltellinae within Bulimulidae.[2]

Amphibulima Lamarck, 1805 - type genus of the subfamily Amphibuliminae[5]
Dryptus Albers, 1860[6]
