The Testacelloidea are a superfamily of air-breathing land snails and slugs, terrestrial gastropod molluscs in the suborder Helicina of the order Stylommatophora.[1][2]
Taxonomy
[edit]The families within the Testacelloidea are as follows:[1]
- Family Testacellidae Gray, 1840
This taxonomy was based on the study by Nordsieck, published in 1986,[3] and the publication by Schileyko in 2000.[4]
The following families, previously categorized within the Testacelloidea, were transferred to the superfamily Oleacinoidea H. Adams & A. Adams, 1855 in 2017.[5]
- Family Oleacinidae H. Adams & A. Adams, 1855
- Family Spiraxidae H. B. Baker, 1939
