Orthalicidae (orthalicid land snails) are a

mollusks are classified in the subfamily Orthalicoidea of the order Stylommatophora.[2]

They are medium-sized to large snails, from about 3 cm (about 1.2 inches) to 9 cm (about 3.5 inches) in shell length

Taxonomy

In former times, this family was often known as the Bulimulidae, but this term may also denote what today is the subfamily

Bulimulinae
. The subfamily Bulimulinae replaces the former family Bulimulidae Crosse & P. Fischer, 1873.

2005 taxonomy

The Orthalicidae belong to the

subfamilies of Orthalicidae, the Bulimulinae are the most diverse, consisting of three tribes:[3]

2010 taxonomy

Breure et al. (2010)[5] elevated Bulimulinae to Bulimulidae, Odontostomini to Odontostomidae, Amphibuliminae to Amphibulimidae.[5]

2012 taxonomy

Breure & Romero (2012)[6] confirmed previous results from 2010, additionally they elevated Simpulopsini to Simpulopsidae.[6]
