Amphiboloidea is a taxonomic superfamily of air-breathing land snails.

Distribution

Amphibolids are found in Indo-Pacific intertidal mangrove, saltmarsh and estuarine mudflat habitats.

Taxonomy

2005 taxonomy

According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), it is a superfamily in the informal group Basommatophora, within the Pulmonata.

This superfamily has contained only one family, the Amphibolidae.

2007 taxonomy

Golding et al. (2007) have established new families:

2010 taxonomy

Basommatophora (Siphonarioidea and Amphiboloidea and Hygrophila) have been found polyphyletic and so Jörger et al. (2010) have moved Amphiboloidea to Panpulmonata.
