Overview
Pupillidae is a family of mostly minute, air-breathing, land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the clade Stylommatophora.
This family has no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
There is one species Pupoides marginatus from the family Pupillidae in Cuba.[2]
Anatomy
In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 26 and 30 (according to the values in this table).[3]
