Family DIAPHANIDAE Odhner, 1914

Introduction

Generally small animals with thin fragile transparent shells, into which the body can retract. The head is wider anteriorly, with furrowed margins. The foot is short in those species with external shell, sometime indented in the rear margin, sometimes with an accessory “foot” formed by a posterior fold of the shell mantle showing behind the shell. In species with internal shell, the foot is long and slender, and much wider in front. Compiled from Burn (in press).
