	Pittieria Aurantiaca ''Pittieria aurantiaca'' is a species of predatory air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Spiraxidae. This species was described based on only one specimen. This specimen was collected by William More Gabb (1839-1878) in Costa Rica, and the species was described under the name ''Euglandina aurantiaca'' by George French Angas in 1879, after Gabb's death. The species was subsequently moved to the genus ''Pittieria'', which was created by Eduard von Martens in 1901. This snail is carnivorous but it also eats honeydew while that substance is being produced by a species of lantern bug. A species of carpenter ant has been observed climbing onto the head of the snail in order to steal some of the honeydew while the snail is feeding in this way. Distribution The type locality of ''Pittieria aurantiaca'' was described as "from the hilly country", in Costa Rica. It is now known to occur in the following countries and areas: * Costa Ric ...

	Spiraxidae Spiraxidae is a family of predatory air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the superfamily Testacelloidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Distribution The distribution of this family is Neotropical. Taxonomy 2005 taxonomy The family Spiraxidae is classified within the informal group Sigmurethra, itself belonging to the clade Stylommatophora within the clade Eupulmonata (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). The family Spiraxidae consists of the following subfamilies: * Spiraxinae H. B. Baker, 1939 * Micromeninae Schileyko, 2000 2010 taxonomy Thompson (2010)PDF. redefined subfamilies in the Spiraxidae, moving Euglandininae and Streptostylinae to become subfamilies of Spiraxidae. According to their work, there are three subfamilies within the Spiraxidae: * Spiraxinae H. B. Baker, 1939 - including ''Micromena'' * Euglandininae H. B. Baker, 1941 * Streptostylinae H. B. ...
