Amphiboloidea is a taxonomic superfamily of air-breathing land snails.

Taxonomy

This superfamily has contained only one family, the Amphibolidae.^[3]

Golding et al. (2007)^[2] have established new families:

Maningrididae Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007^[2] - with the only species Maningrida arnhemensis^[2]
Phallomedusidae Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007^[2]

Basommatophora (Siphonarioidea and Amphiboloidea and Hygrophila) have been found polyphyletic and so Jörger et al. (2010)^[1] have moved Amphiboloidea to Panpulmonata.
