Endodontidae is a taxonomic family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks.

This family, which includes both snails and slugs, appears to have once been much more diverse, but has declined, and is now endangered due to human activity.

Distribution

This family is found only in the Pacific islands.

Conservation status

This family is critically endangered and on the verge of extinction, mainly because of habitat loss due to human development.

On American Samoa, some species are in decline due to predation by introduced fire ants. [1]
