Dyakiidae
Dyakiidae is a family of air-breathing land snails terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Trochomorphoidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Some of the species in this family are sinistral (left-handed) in their shell coiling. Distribution The family Dyakiidae is endemic to Sundaland in Southeast Asia. Anatomy In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes is between 26 and 30 (according to the values in this table).Barker G. M.

Bertia (gastropod)
''Bertia'' is a genus of air-breathing Asian land snails: they are pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Dyakiidae. Distribution and conservation status ''Bertia'' spp. have been recorded from the tropical forests of Borneo and Indo-China: all with very local distributions. The species listed below also all appear to be endangered, primarily due to habitat loss but exacerbated by over-collecting. Species The World Register of Marine Species lists: * '' Bertia cambojiensis'' (Reeve, 1860) * '' Bertia pergrandis'' (E.A. Smith, 1893) * '' Bertia setzeri'' Thach, 2015 Note: ''Bertia brookei'' (Adams & Reeve, 1848) is a synonym of '' Exrhysota brookei'' (Adams & Reeve, 1848) ''Bertia brookei'' (A.Adams & Reeve, 1850); retrieved 2 January 2022 ( |
Quantula Striata
''Quantula striata'', also known as ''Dyakia striata'', is a species of medium-sized, air-breathing, tropical land snail. It is a terrestrial, pulmonate, gastropod mollusk in the family Dyakiidae. This species appears to be unique among terrestrial gastropods in that it is bioluminescent: Its eggs glow in the dark, and juveniles and most adults give off flashes of green light. It is the only species in the genus ''Quantula''.Tumpeesuwan C., Naggs F. & Panha S.

Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=994727 on 2021-02-22 Staffordiidae is the only family in the superfamily Staffordioidea. This family has no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
