Bothriembryontidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.
Taxonomy
[edit]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]

[edit]Genera within the family Bothriembryontidae include:
