Enidae
Enidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks.MolluscaBase eds. (2020). MolluscaBase. Enidae B. B. Woodward, 1903 (1880). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=390817 on 2020-08-11 Anatomy In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 21 and 25 (according to the values in this table).Barker G.

Taxonomy 1998 taxonomy The following subfamilies of Enidae are based on work by Schileyko (1998) and they are in use mainly by Russian malacologists: * subfamily Pseudonapaeinae * subfamily Chondrulopsininae * subfamily Merdigerinae * subfamily Buliminusinae * subfamily Andronakiinae * subfamily Retowskiinae * subfamily Eninae - including ''Chondrula'' * ...

Ayna (gastropod)
''Ayna'' is a monotypic genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial animal, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Enidae. The sole species in the genus is ''Ayna mienisi''. It was described as ''Zebrina'' (''Ramusculus'') ''mienisi''. The genus ''Ramusculus'' however is a monotypic genus only distantly related to ''Ayna''. The closest relative of ''Ayna'' is probably ''Clausilioides''. ''A. mienisi'' is a chirally enantiomorphic species. This means that some specimens have sinistral (left-coiled), others dextral (right-coiled) shells. The sinistral and dextral specimens form "clear" populations but can by found sympatrically as well. The sinistral specimens were described as a species (''Ramusculus laevitortus'' Schütt, 1995) differs from the dextral ''Ramusculus mienisi''. The species inhabits a relatively small area in Erzurum Province, northeastern Turkey. References Enidae Endemic fauna of Turkey Monotypic gastropod genera Gastropods described in 1986 ...
