## Anatomy

The family is characterized by the presence of a free right ommatophoral retractor (passing outside the peni-oviducal angle) and a double stimulatory apparatus.[1] A free right ommatophoral retractor has been linked to adaptation to xeric habitats[3]

## Taxonomy

The family Geomitridae is subdivided in the following subfamilies (according to Razkin et al., 2015[1])

* Subfamily Geomitrinae
* tribe Cochlicellini Schileyko, 1972
* tribe Geomitrini C. Boettger, 1909 - synonym: Ochthephilinae Zilch, 1960 (n.a.)
* tribe Ponentinini Razkin et al., 2015
* Subfamily Helicellinae
* tribe Cernuellini Schileyko, 1991
* tribe Helicellini Ihering, 1909 - synonym: Jacostidae Pilsbry, 1948 (inv.)
* tribe Helicopsini H. Nordsieck, 1987
* tribe Plentuisini Razkin et al., 2015
