Amphibulimidae is a taxonomic family of land snails, semi-slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.[3][2]
Distribution
Distribution of the family Amphibulimidae include northern part of South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador), Central America and the West Indies (Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique).[4]
Taxonomy
2005 taxonomy
This taxon was placed as a subfamily Amphibuliminae within the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[5] There was classified also semi-slug Peltella Gray, 1855 within Amphibuliminae and Peltellinae Gray, 1855 was considered as a synonym of Amphibuliminae.[5]
2010 taxonomy
Breure et al. (2010)[3] elevated Amphibuliminae to Amphibulimidae.[3]
2012 taxonomy
Breure & Romero (2012)[2] removed Peltella to subfamily Peltellinae within Bulimulidae.[2]
