Vitrinidae in the World Register of Marine Species
Vitrinidae is a family of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Limacoidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
The family Vitrinidae has no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
Distribution
The distribution of the Vitrinidae includes the Nearctic, western Palearctic, eastern Palearctic, and Ethiopian zones, as well as Hawaii.[1]
Anatomy
Snails in this family make and use love darts made of chitin.
In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 26 and 35 (according to the values in this table).[2]
