Pupillidae is a family of mostly minute, air-breathing, land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the superfamily Pupilloidea.

This family has no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).^[3]

Distribution

Pupoides marginatus is endemic to Cuba.^[4] The type genus, Pupilla, in direct contrast, has numerous living and extinct species found in Europe, Northern Africa, and North America.

Anatomy

In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 26 and 30 (according to the values in this table).^[5]
