Phylogeny and biogeography of the Vitrinidae (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora) [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2002 The phylogeny of the Vitrinidae is reconstructed in a cladistic analysis based on characters of the genitalia, the copulation behaviour and the radula. The genera with an atrial stimulator turned out to be the earliest branches of the Vitrinidae, whereas the genera with a glandula amatoria form a monophyletic, taxonomically apomorphic group.
