Ferussaciidae
Ferussaciidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial molluscs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the Taxonomic rank, superfamily Achatinoidea.MolluscaBase eds. (2020). MolluscaBase. Ferussaciidae Bourguignat, 1883. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=413333 on 2020-05-02 This family has no subfamilies. The family name Ferussaciidae is from 1883 and therefore it is more recent than the family name Cecilioididae Mörch, 1864. However, the latter has been declared as a nomen oblitum because it had not been used for over 100 years. Ferussaciidae has been declared a nomen protectum. Distribution The distribution of Ferussaciidae includes Africa to Europe and the Near East, tropical Americas, List of non-marine molluscs of Hawaii, Hawaii and tropical Asia.

Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=819997 on 2020-07-30 Most of the species in this genus live some distance underground. They are usually blind. Because of their subterranean habitat and their small size, they can be difficult to find alive. When fresh, the shells are transparent. After they have been empty some time in the soil, they usually become an opaque milky-white. ''Cecilioides acicula'' has a very long and slim shell with a dull point at the end.
