Haplotrematidae<br />

Jochen Gerber, Field Museum <strong>of</strong> Natural History<br />

These snails have medium-sized to large, depresseed to almost planispiral, openly<br />

umbilicated shells, mostly light-colored shells. The peristome is not or very narrowly expanded<br />

and usually blunt, but not particularly thickened, and it lacks folds or teeth.<br />

The Family is restricted to the Americas and the West Indies. In North America, only<br />

two species live east <strong>of</strong> the Rocky Mountains, one, Haplotrema concavum, with a very wide<br />

distribution. The bulk <strong>of</strong> the North American species is found in the states and provinces<br />

bordering the Pacific.<br />

Haplotrematids live usually in <strong>for</strong>est habitats in leaf litter and under logs and stones.<br />

They are known to be omnivorous: they eat other snails, earth worms, etc., as well as plant<br />

material.<br />
