Shileyko (2004) listed 40 species within Epiphragmophorinae.[3] There are about 65 recognized species within Epiphragmophorinae in 2017.[4]
Anatomy edit
This family is defined by the absence of a diverticulum. These snails have one dart apparatus with a stylophore (dart sac), and one or two mucus glands that are inserted on the dart sac and on the accessory sac, or at the base of the dart sac.[citation needed]
Genera edit
Genera within the family Epiphragmophorinae include:
- Angrandiella Ancey, 1886[3]
- Dinotropis Pilsbry & Cockerell, 1937[3]
- Doeringina Ihering, 1929[3]
- Epiphragmophora Doering, 1874[5] - the type genus of the family Epiphragmophoridae.[2] It occurs from Argentina to Bolivia.[6]
