Bothriembryontidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.
Taxonomy
This family has been named Placostylidae and had no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[4]
Breure et al. (2010)[5] moved Prestonella and Bothriembryon to Placostylidae.
Breure & Romero (2012)[2] confirmed previous results from 2010 and they renamed Placostylidae to Bothriembryontidae.[2]
- subfamily Bothriembryontinae Iredale, 1937
- subfamily Placostylinae Pilsbry, 1946 - for species from New Zealand and Melanesia[2]
Prestonellinae was formally described as a new subfamily within Bothriembryontidae in 2016.[6] Therefore three subfamilies are recognized in Bothriembryontidae:
- subfamily Bothriembryontinae Iredale, 1937
- subfamily Placostylinae Pilsbry, 1946
- Prestonellinae van Bruggen, Herbert & Breure, 2016[6]
