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).
The native distribution of Trigonochlamydidae includes Caucasus, [1] Iran and Turkey. [2]
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):
There are nine [2] genera in the family Trigonochlamydidae with a total of 11 species:
Subfamily Trigonochlamydinae
Subfamily Parmacellillinae
Synonym:
Selenochlamys O. Boettger, 1883 has been removed from the Trigonochlamydidae to the Oxychilidae based on DNA evidence. [7]
The following cladogram shows the phylogenic relationships of this family with the other families in the limacoid clade: [8]
