Urocoptidae

The Urocoptidae are a family of land snails, belonging to the order Pulmonata. These snails are characterized by their spiral shells and are primarily found in southern Florida, the West Indies, and Mexico, typically inhabiting limestone cliffs and outcrops. The term "urocoptid" can refer to an individual snail within the genus Urocoptis or the family Urocoptidae, or it can be used as an adjective to describe something related to this group. The classification of gastropods, including families like Urocoptidae, has undergone significant debate and revision, with ongoing research using molecular data to refine phylogenetic schemes.1234
