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]
