Family Spelaeodiscidae Steenberg, 1925

Remarks.

Schileyko (1998) classified Spelaeodiscus into the family Spelaeodiscidae Steenberg, 1925, which has independently been introduced by Hudec (1970) as well. This taxon was also recognized as a separate family of the infraorder Orthurethra (and its only superfamily, Pupilloidea ) by Bouchet et al. (2017). Although the genital anatomy of some species belonging to this family is known, its systematic position within Orthurethra is uncertain, because no molecular phylogenetic information is known ( Harl et al. 2017).
