Family
Camaenidae Pilsbry, 1895
Remarks.
Camaenidae
and
Bradybaenidae
are traditionally distinguished on the basis of the absence of the dart sac and mucous glands in the former and the presence of these structures in the latter. The molecular phylogeny of
Wade et al. (2007)
showed that the dart sac was lost multiple times during the evolution of the
Camaenidae
.
Camaenidae
and
Bradybaenidae
form a single clade, and neither of them is mono
phyletic
. Therefore
Gittenberger et al. (2012)
formally treated the
Bradybaenidae
as a junior synonym of
Camaenidae
.
Bouchet et al. (2017)
retained the subfamily
Bradybaeninae
Pilsbry, 1934 under
Camaenidae
. This system is followed here.
