Sigmurethra is a taxonomic category of air-breathing land snails and slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. This is an informal group which includes most land snails and slugs.

The two strong synapomorphies of Sigmurethra are a long pedal gland placed beneath a membrane and retractile tentacles.[2]

Several families in this group contain species of snails and slugs that create love darts.

Sigmurethra are known from the Cretaceous to the Recent periods.[3]

Taxonomy

[edit]

2005 Taxonomy

[edit]

In the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005, Sigmurethra is an "Informal Group", a subsection of the Stylommatophora.[4] It consists of the following families:

Informal group Sigmurethra continued

[edit]

Two superfamilies belongs to clade Sigmurethra, but they are not in the limacoid clade.

(Families that are exclusively fossil are indicated with a dagger †)

New families after 2005

2017 Taxonomy

[edit]

After excluding groups not related, the informal group Sigmurethra becomes suborder Helicina, with the following nine infraorders and a collection of families with no superfamily:[6]
