“…The currently recognized subfamilies Diplommatininae and Cochlostomatinae consist of ten Central Indo-Pacific genera with hundreds of species, and a single European genus, respectively (Beesley et al, 1998;Bouchet et al, 2005;Vermeulen, 1993). The subfamilies have been considered separate families on occasion (Fehér, 2004), and the taxonomic structure within the Diplommatininae has been hampered by convergence in shell shape (Rundell, 2008;Solem, 1959;Tillier, 1981;Vermeulen, 1994). Rundell (2008) produced a molecular phylogeny for the three genera found on Belau, viz.…”
