Tomogeridae


Tomogeridae is a taxonomic family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily '''Orthalicoidea '''

Characteristics

"For M. Jousseaume, the genus Anostoma constitutes a family to which he gives the name TOMOGERIDAE, and which contains two perfectly distinct genera: one with an imperforate peristome, which is the genus Tomogeres of Montfort ; and the other with a perforate peristome, for which he creates the genus Tomogerina, whose type would be Anostoma globulosum Lam."
Tomogeres and Tomogerina are both now considered synonyms of Anastoma. Anostomag globulosum is a synonym of ''Anostoma ringens''
