Amphibolidae is a family of air-breathing snails with opercula, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs.
This family of pulmonate gastropods, for breathe air, but also have opercula and at least some species go through a free-swimming veliger stage.
Taxonomy
2005 taxonomy
According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), it was an only family within a superfamily Amphiboloidea in the informal group Basommatophora, within the Pulmonata.[2]
2010 taxonomy
Jörger et al. (2010)[3] have moved Amphiboloidea to Panpulmonata.
