Pomatiidae
The family Pomatiidae is a taxonomic family of small operculate land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks that can be found over the warmer parts of the Old World. In the older literature, this family is designated as Pomatiasidae. This family is a lineage closely related to the Littorinidae (periwinkles) common in coastal habitat. They have adapted to terrestrial life and are thus sometimes called "land winkles". They are defined by a chalky operculum at the rear end of the body, the shape of their thick shell and their mouth and a characteristic spiral sculpture. The sexes are separate and can sometimes be recognised because the female shell is slightly larger than the male shell. Taxonomy According to the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), the family Pomatiidae consisted of two subfamilies: *subfamily Pomatiinae Newton, 1891 (1828) - synonyms: Cyclostomatidae Menke, 1828; Cyclotopsinae Kobelt & Möllendorff, 1898; Ericiidae Wenz, 1915 *subfamily Annular ...

Orculella Ruderalis
''Orculella'' is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Orculidae. The genus ''Orculella'' occurs in the whole Mediterranean region. The richest areas in terms of species are Turkey and the Middle East, the Aegean Islands (mainly Crete) and Libya (Cyrenaica). A few species inhabit Southern Spain ( ''O. bulgarica''), Sicily ( ''O. templorum'') and northeastern Africa ( ''O. tingitana''). Species in the genera ''Schileykula'' and ''Orculella'' are indistinguishable based on shell characters only. They differ however in the genitalia, primarily in the presence (''Orculella'') or absence (''Schileykula'') of a penial appendix. Species and subspecies Species and subspecies in the genus ''Orculella'' include: * '' Orculella astirakiensis'' Gittenberger & Hausdorf 2004 * '' Orculella brandti'' (Zilch 1960)Zilch, A. (1960).

Succineidae
Succineidae are a family of small to medium-sized, air-breathing land snails (and slugs), terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Succineoidea.MolluscaBase eds. (2021). MolluscaBase. Succineidae Beck, 1837. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=181585 on 2021-02-23 They are commonly called amber snails because their thin fragile shells are translucent and amber-colored. They usually live in damp habitats such as marshes. Succineidae is the only family in the superfamily Succineoidea. The soft parts of the animal appear to be too large for the shell.Janus, Horst, 1965. ‘’The young specialist looks at land and freshwater molluscs’’, Burke, London Anatomy In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes varies greatly. The most common totals are less than 10, and also lies between 21 and 25, but other values are also possible (according to the values in this table).Barker G. M ...

Carychium Minimum
''Carychium minimum'' is a species of very small air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Ellobiidae. Description The width of the shell is 0.9-1.1 mm. The height of the shell is 1.6-2.2 mm. It is wider than the shell of ''Carychium tridentatum'' which it closely resembles. As in ''C. tridentatum'' shell is dull white and cylindrical and the mouth is oval with two denticles and a thickened lip. However if the last whorl above the aperture is opened this shows the plica parietalis (a spiral ridge on the parietal region projecting into the interior of the shell) descending in a simple way downwards.Welter-Schultes F. W. (2012). ''European non-marine molluscs, a guide for species identification. Bestimmungsbuch für europäische Land- und Süsswassermollusken''. Planet Poster Editions, Göttingen. .
