editAmphibulimidae lives across the northern part of South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador), Central America and the West Indies (Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique).[5]
Taxonomy
edit2005
editThis taxon was placed as a subfamily Amphibuliminae within the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[6] There was classified also semi-slug Peltella Gray, 1855 within Amphibuliminae and Peltellinae Gray, 1855 was considered as a synonym of Amphibuliminae.[6]
2010
editBreure et al. (2010)[3] elevated Amphibuliminae to Amphibulimidae.[3]
2012
editBreure & Romero (2012)[4] removed Peltella to subfamily Peltellinae within Bulimulidae.[4]
