Trigonochlamydidae is a family of air-breathing land slugs, terrestrial gastropod molluscs in the clade Eupulmonata (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

Distribution

The native distribution of Trigonochlamydidae includes Caucasus,[1] Iran and Turkey.[2]

Taxonomy

Previously, Trigonochlamydidae was placed in the superfamily Trigonochlamydoidea Hesse, 1882, in the subinfraorder Sigmurethra. This was the only family within that superfamily.[3]

The family Trigonochlamydidae is now classified within the limacoid clade, which itself belongs to the clade Stylommatophora, within the clade Eupulmonata (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

The following two subfamilies have been recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):

subfamily Trigonochlamydinae Hesse, 1882 - synonyms: Selenochlamydinae I. M. Likharev & Wiktor, 1980
subfamily Parmacellillinae Hesse, 1926[4]

Genera

There are nine[2] genera in the family Trigonochlamydidae with a total of 11 species:

Subfamily Trigonochlamydinae

Boreolestes Schileyko & Kijashko, 1999
- Boreolestes likharevi Schileyko & Kijashko, 1999 - type species[5]
- Boreolestes sylvestris Kijashko in Schileyko & Kijashko, 1999[5]
Drilolestes Lindholm, 1925 - with only one species Drilolestes retowskii (O. Boettger, 1884)[5]
Hyrcanolestes Simroth, 1901 - with only one species Hyrcanolestes velitaris (Martens, 1880)[5]
Khostalestes Suvorov, 2003[2] - with only one species Khostalestes kochetkovi Suvorov, 2003[2][5]
Lesticulus Schileyko, 1988 - with only one species Lesticulus nocturnus Schileyko, 1988[5]
Trigonochlamys O. Boettger, 1881 - type genus of the family Trigonochlamydidae, with only one species Trigonochlamys imitatrix O. Boettger, 1881[5]
Troglolestes Ljovushkin & Matiokin, 1965 - with only one species Troglolestes sokolovi Liovushkin & Matiokin, 1965[5]

Subfamily Parmacellillinae

Parmacellilla Simroth, 1910 - type genus of the subfamily Parmacellillinae, with only one species Parmacellilla filipowitschi Simroth, 1910[6]

Synonym:

Pseudomilax O. Boettger, 1881 is a synonym for various genera in Trigonochlamydidae.

Selenochlamys O. Boettger, 1883 has been removed from the Trigonochlamydidae to the Oxychilidae based on DNA evidence.[7]
