The Orthalicoidea are a superfamily of air-breathing land snails and slugs, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the informal group Sigmurethra.[1]

This taxonomy, as accepted by Bouchet & Rocroi, was based on the study by Nordsieck, published in 1986, [2] and the classification as formulated by Schileyko in 1999 [3]. However Bouchet & Rocroi diverged from this classification in uniting the families Bulimulidae and Orthalacidae. They also considered the family Placostylidae as a distinct family from Orthalicidae, and the family Coelociontidae a distinct family from Urocoptidae. However, the position of the families Megaspiridae and Grangerellidae is doubtful.
