Geomitridae is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.^[1]^[2]

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]). Genera with the family Geomitridae include:^[1]^[4]
