Amphibulimidae is a taxonomic family of land snails in the superfamily Orthalicoidea.Breure A. S. H. & Romero P. (2012).

Distribution

Amphibulimidae lives across the northern part of South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador), Central America and the West Indies (Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique).Borrero F. J. & Breure A. S. H. (2011). "The Amphibulimidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Orthalicoidea) from Colombia and adjacent areas". Zootaxa 3054: 1-59. [http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2011/f/z03054p059f.pdf preview].

Taxonomy

= 2005 =

This taxon was placed as a subfamily Amphibuliminae within the family Orthalicidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).{{Bouchet 2005}} There was classified also semi-slug Peltella Gray, 1855 within Amphibuliminae and Peltellinae Gray, 1855 was considered as a synonym of Amphibuliminae.

= 2010 =

Breure et al. (2010) elevated Amphibuliminae to Amphibulimidae.Breure A. S. H., Groenenberg D. S. J. & Schilthuizen M. (2010). "New insights in the phylogenetic relations within the Orthalicoidea (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora) based on 28S sequence data". Basteria 74(1-3): 25-31.

= 2012 =

Breure & Romero (2012) removed Peltella to subfamily Peltellinae within Bulimulidae.
