Drymaeus Poecilus
''Drymaeus poecilus'' is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Bulimulidae that is native to parts of South America. It was first described in 1835, with the Bolivian Chiquitos Province as its type locality. The species is known to occur in several South American regions and countries beyond Bolivia including Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, inhabiting both dry and humid ecoregions. ''Drymaeus poecilus'' is a medium-sized land snail with a 31–37 mm glossy shell, exhibiting wide variation in color patterns such as spiral lines, bicolored bands, and axial markings. Its protoconch has a distinctive net-like sculpture, typical of the genus and related groups. There are differences in shell shape and coloration, which are currently regarded as intraspecific variations. Phylogenetic analyses based on genetic markers place ''Drymaeus poecilus'' in a clade that also includes other species from the genera ''Drymaeus'', '' Pse ...

Orthalicoidea
Orthalicoidea is a superfamily of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the infraorder Orthalicoidei of the suborder Helicina.MolluscaBase eds. (2021). MolluscaBase.

Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=870047 on 2021-02-05 Distribution The Orthalicoidea is a dominant faunal element in the Neotropics, but also has a number of genera with a Gondwanan distribution. Taxonomy 2005 taxonomy This taxonomy, as accepted by Bouchet & Rocroi, was based on the study by Nordsieck, published in 1986, and the classification as formulated by Schileyko in 1999. However Bouchet & Rocroi diverged from this classification in uniting the families Bulimulidae and Orthalacidae. They also considered the family Placostylidae as a distinct family from Orthalicidae, and the family Coelociontidae a distinct family from Urocoptidae. However, the position of the families Me ...

Placostylidae
Bothriembryontidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Orthalicoidea. Taxonomy This family has been named Placostylidae and had no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Breure et al. (2010) moved ''Prestonella'' and ''Bothriembryon'' to Placostylidae. Breure & Romero (2012) confirmed previous results from 2010 and they renamed Placostylidae to Bothriembryontidae. * subfamily Bothriembryontinae Iredale, 1937 * subfamily Placostylinae Pilsbry, 1946 - for species from New Zealand and Melanesia Prestonellinae was formally described as a new subfamily within Bothriembryontidae in 2016.
