Achatinellidae Gulick, 1873 |
| Achatinellidae | Gulick, ?. 1873. [Title?].. |
| Remarks: | The Achatinellidae are widespread in the Pacific Basin. A number of species have also been recorded from Australia, Southeast Asia, and the islands of the Indian Ocean but these are probably human introductions. The Achatinellidae are one of four land snail families endemic to the Pacific basin, the others being Partulidae, Endodontidae (both represented in the Samoan fauna; see below), and Amastridae (endemic to the Hawaiian Islands; not found in the Samoan Islands). |
