Distribution
The distribution of the Gastrocoptidae is nearly worldwide, although family is extinct in Europe since Pleistocene, except one species in Northern Caucasus. In fossil record from Paleocene.
Taxonomy
For some time was considered as a subfamily in Vertiginidae, some species of these two families are very similar by the shell's characters.
Genera in the family Gastrocoptidae include:
- † Ptychalaea Boettger, 1889
Subfamily Gastrocoptinae Pilsbry, 1918
- Gastrocopta Wollaston, 1878 - the type genus of the family, distributed nearly worldwide, over 100 species, in fossil record from Paleocene, very numerous and speciose in the Miocene deposits of Europe
- Balticopta Balashov & Perkovsky, 2020 - fossil from Eocene Baltic amber[3]
- Cavipupa Pilsbry, 1934 - endemic to Philippines
- Chaenaxis Pilsbry & Ferris, 1906 - North America
- Gibbulina Beck, 1837
- Ptychalaea Boettger, 1889 - fossil from Miocene and Eocene of Europe[3][4]
- Pumilicopta Solem, 1988 - Australia
- Ulpia Hylton Scott, 1955
Subfamily Hypselostomatinae Zilch, 1959 - distributed mainly in Southeastern Asia and Australia
