Canariellidae is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.[1][2]
The family is characterized by having a short flagellum and a stimulatory apparatus composed only of one to three single mucous glands (lacking dart or accessory sacs).[2]
