Families
Bradybaenidae
Bradybaenidae is a taxonomic family of medium-sized to small land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks. [more]
Camaenidae
Camaenidae is a family of gastropods in the order Stylommatophora. [more]
Cepolidae
Bandfishes are a family, Cepolidae, of perciform fishes. They are native to the Atlantic seaboard of Europe and the West Pacific, including New Zealand. They dig burrows in sandy or muddy seabed and eat zooplankton. [more]
Cochlicellidae
Elonidae
Epiphragmophoridae
Halolimnohelicidae
Helicidae
The Helicidae, sometimes known as the typical snails, are a taxonomic family of small to large, air-breathing, land snails. In other words, they are terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks. [more]
Helicodontidae
Helminthoglyptidae
The Helminthoglyptidae are a family of pulmonate land snails. This is a large and diverse group of new world snails, ranging in distribution from Alaska through North America to the West Indies, Central America, and as far south as Argentina. [more]
Humboldtianidae
Hygromiidae
Hygromiidae is a taxonomic family of small to medium sized land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the order Stylommatophora. [more]

Polygyridae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks. [more]
Sphincterochilidae
Thysanophoridae
Trissexodontidae
Xanthonychidae
At least 60 species and subspecies belong to the Family Xanthonychidae.
