Semisulcospiridae, common name semisulcospirids, is a family of freshwater snails, aquatic gilled gastropod mollusks with an operculum, in the superfamily Cerithioidea. [3]
Semisulcospiridae diversified from the Pleuroceridae about 90 million years ago, in the Cretaceous.[4]
Distribution
The family Semisulcospiridae occurs in western North America, the Far East of Russia, Korea, Japan, China and Vietnam.
Taxonomy
The family Semisulcospiridae was introduced as just a name (nomen nudum) by Morrison (1952),[1] without a diagnosis of the taxon. It is a valid taxon however, because its name has been used as valid.
2005 taxonomy
According to the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), Semisulcospiridae was a subfamily within the family Pleuroceridae.[5]
2009 taxonomy
The subfamily Semisulcospirinae within the Pleuroceridae was elevated to family level as Semisulcospiridae by Strong & Köhler (2009).[4]
Genera
There is very high level of mitochondrial heterogeneity in apparent species of Semisulcospiridae (highest among gastropods, also with Pleuroceridae), that has not been sufficiently explained yet as of 2015.[6]
Genera within the family Semisulcospiridae include:
- Hua S.-F. Chen, 1943 [4]
- Juga H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854[4]
- KoreoleptoxisJ. B. Burch & Y. Jung, 1988[4]
- Semisulcospira O. Boettger, 1886 - the type genus
- Genera brought into synonymy
- Biwamelania Matsuoka, 1985: synonym of Semisulcospira O. Böttger, 1886
- Koreanomelania:[4] synonym of Koreoleptoxis J. B. Burch & Y. Jung, 1988
- Namrutua Abbott, 1948: synonym of Semisulcospira O. Böttger, 1886 (junior synonym)
- "Parajuga":[4] synonym of Juga H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 (unavailable name: no type species designated)
- Senckenbergia Yen, 1939: synonym of Semisulcospira O. Böttger, 1886 (junior synonym)
