Urocoptidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Urocoptoidea. [2]
The family Urocoptidae consists of 7 subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):
- Urocoptinae Pilsbry, 1898 (1868) - synonym: Cylindrellidae Tryon, 1868
- Apomatinae Paul, 1982
- Brachypodellinae H. B. Baker, 1956
- Eucalodiinae P. Fischer & Crosse, 1873
- Holospirinae Pilsbry, 1946
- Microceraminae Pilsbry, 1904 - synonyms: Johaniceraminae Jaume & de la Torre, 1972; Macroceraminae Jaume & de la Torre, 1972
- Tetrentodontinae Bartsch, 1943
2008 taxonomy
[edit]Uit de Weerd (2008)[3] moved the Urocoptidae to the newly established superfamily Urocoptoidea based on molecular phylogeny research.[3]
The following cladogram based on Bayesian analysis of sequences of 28S ribosomal RNA shows the phylogenic relations within the Urocoptoidea.[3] There are up to 2008 genetically analyzed species of Urocoptidae and one species of Cerionidae marked in khaki color in the cladogram.[3]

2012 taxonomy
[edit]Fred G. Thompson established the family Epirobiidae in 2012 for five genera of snails (Epirobia, Propilsbrya, Pectinistemma, Gyrocion, Prionoloplax), that were previously placed within Urocoptidae.[4] Data from molecular phylogeny research as well as morphology supports monophyly of Holospiridae Pilsbry, 1946 and the Eucalodiidae Crosse & Fischer, 1868.[4]
