Aillyidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the informal group Sigmurethra.[2]
Aillyidae is the only family in the superfamily Aillyoidea.[2]
This family and the genus is named in honor of Swedish malacologist Adolf d'Ailly (1855-1927).[citation needed]
Taxonomy
The family Aillyidae is classified within the informal group Sigmurethra, itself belonging to the clade Stylommatophora within the clade Eupulmonata (according to taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[2] This family has no subfamilies.[2]
Prestonellidae has been tentatively placed as a synonym of Aillyidae in the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005.[2] Herbert & Mitchell (2009)[3] have moved Prestonellidae to the superfamily Orthalicoidea.[3]
Genera
- Aillya Odhner, 1927[4] - type genus of the family Aillyidae[2]
- Aillya camerunensis Odhner, 1927[4][5] - it lives in Africa[3][4][where?]
