Breure, A.S.H., D.S.J. Groenenberg & M. Schilthuizen. New insights in the
phylogenetic relations within the Orthalicoidea (Gastropoda,
Stylommatophora) based on 28S sequence data. -- Basteria, 74(1-3): 25-31,
2010.

Summary:

New phylogenetic data are presented on the land snail

superfamily Orthalicoidea, using sequences of 22 taxa. In

general, the results corroborate the findings of previousauthors,

but provide a better resolution for several groups

within this superfamily. Most basal in the phylogeny are Orthalicidae

s.str. and Amphibulimidae. The Placostylidae

sensu Bouchet et al. (2005) and the African genus Prestonella,

the Australian Bothriembryon and the South American Plectostylus

form one clade, classified with the Placostylidae.

Odontostomidae and Bulimulidae are the remaining wellsupported

clades.
