Genera and species

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

[edit]

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 mucous glands that are inserted on the dart sac and on the accessory sac, or at the base of the dart sac.[citation needed]
