Amphiboloidea is a taxonomic superfamily of air-breathing land snails.

Contents

2005 taxonomy

According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), it is a superfamily in the informal group Basommatophora, within the Pulmonata.

This superfamily has contained only one family, the Amphibolidae.

2007 taxonomy

Golding et al. (2007) have established new families:

  • Maningrididae Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007 - with the only species Maningrida arnhemensis
  • Phallomedusidae Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007
  • 2010 taxonomy

    Basommatophora (Siphonarioidea and Amphiboloidea and Hygrophila) have been found polyphyletic and so Jörger et al. (2010) have moved Amphiboloidea to Panpulmonata.
