Amphibolidae is a family of air-breathing snails with opercula, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs.

This family of pulmonate gastropods, for breathe air, but also have opercula and at least some species go through a free-swimming veliger stage.

Taxonomy

According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), it was an only family within a superfamily Amphiboloidea in the informal group Basommatophora, within the Pulmonata.^[2]

Jörger et al. (2010)^[3] have moved Amphiboloidea to Panpulmonata.

Genera and species within the family Amphibolidae include:

Amphibola Schumacher, 1817 ^[1]
Lactiforis Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007^[1]
Naranjia Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007^[1] - with the only one species: Naranjia swatowensis (Yen, 1939)^[1]
Phallomedusa Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007
Salinator Hedley, 1900^[1]
