Family of gastropods
The family Pomatiidae is a
taxonomic family of small
operculate
land snails ,
terrestrial
gastropod
mollusks that can be found over the warmer parts of the
Old World . In the older literature, this family is designated as Pomatiasidae .
This family is a lineage closely related to the
Littorinidae (periwinkles) common in
coastal habitat. They have adapted to terrestrial life and are thus sometimes called "land winkles".
[1]
They are defined by a chalky operculum at the rear end of the body, the shape of their thick shell and their mouth and a characteristic spiral sculpture. The sexes are separate and can sometimes be recognised because the female shell is slightly larger than the male shell.
Taxonomy
Tropidophora fimbriata haemostoma .
According to the
Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005) , the family Pomatiidae consisted of two subfamilies:
[2]
subfamily Pomatiinae Newton, 1891 (1828) - synonyms: Cyclostomatidae Menke, 1828; Cyclotopsinae Kobelt & Möllendorff, 1898; Ericiidae Wenz, 1915
subfamily Annulariinae
Henderson &
Bartsch , 1941 , 1920:
[3] this subfamily has been raised to the rank of family
Annulariidae .
