Tomogeridae

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

Characteristics

(Original description in French) "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 (Anostoma of Fischer, not Anostomus of Gronov); 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 <small>(Linnaeus, 1758)</small>
