Pleurodontidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea. [1]

This family is classified within the order Stylommatophora within the superorder Eupulmonata (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[2] This family has no subfamilies.[2]

The family Pleurodontidae includes some American taxa that used to be included within the Australasian family Camaenidae, a taxon whose monophyly was in doubt.

## Anatomy

Pleurodontids are defined by a missing diverticulum. However the diverticulum is partially present in the genus Solaropsis. The stimulatory organ is equally missing. However, Solaropsis has in part a penial stimulator and a divided penis retractor muscle.

## Genera

Genera within this family include:

* Coloniconcha Pilsbry, 1933 \- with the only species Coloniconcha prima Pilsbry, 1933[3]
* Dentellaria Schumacher, 1817 \- either separate genus (with a synonym: Lucerna)[4] or as a synonym of Pleurodonte[5]
* Discolepis Ancey, 1904
* Eurycratera Beck, 1837[6]
* Eurycratera jamaicensis (Gmelin, 1791)[6]
* † Ganeselloides Yen, 1969
* Gonostomopsis Pilsbry, 1889
* Lucerna Swainson, 1840
* Pleurodonte Fischer de Waldheim, 1807
* Psadara Miller, 1878 \- synonym or subgenus of Solaropsis[7]
* Solaropsis Beck, 1837
* Thelidomus Swainson, 1840[8] (or in Camaenidae)
* Zachrysia Pilsbry, 1926[9][10] (or in Camaenidae)
