Achatinoidea in the World Register of Marine Species

The Achatinoidea are a superfamily of air-breathing land snails and slugs, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the informal group Sigmurethra.[1]

2005 taxonomy

According to taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005 there are four families within the superfamily Achatinoidea,[1] that is based on the study by Nordsieck, published in 1986.[1][2]

Family Achatinidae Swainson, 1840
Family Ferussaciidae Bourguignat, 1883
Family Micractaeonidae Schileyko, 1999
Family Subulinidae P. Fischer & Crosse, 1877

2017 taxonomy

Fontanilla et al. recognized Subulinidae as not monophyletic in 2017 and they classified Subulininae within Achatinidae.[3]

Family Achatinidae Swainson, 1840
Family Aillyidae H. B. Baker, 1955[4]
Family Ferussaciidae Bourguignat, 1883[4]
Family Micractaeonidae Schileyko, 1999[4]
