Sigmurethra is a taxonomic category of air-breathing land snails and slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. This is an informal group which includes most land snails and slugs.
The two strong synapomorphies of Sigmurethra are a long pedal gland placed beneath a membrane and retractile tentacles.[2]
Several families in this group contain species of snails and slugs that create love darts.
Sigmurethra are known from the Cretaceous to the Recent periods.[3]

New families after 2005
[edit]- Superfamily Streptaxoidea
- Diapheridae - In 2010, Sutcharit et al. (2010)[5] established a new family Diapheridae within the Streptaxoidea.[5]
2017 Taxonomy
[edit]After excluding groups not related, the informal group Sigmurethra becomes suborder Helicina, with the following nine infraorders and a collection of families with no superfamily：[6]
- Suborder Helicina ("Non-Achatinoid Clade")
- Infraorder Arionoidei
- Infraorder Clausilioidei
- Infraorder Helicoidei: formed from Helicoidea Rafinesque, 1815 and Sagdoidea Pilsbry, 1895[7]
- Infraorder Limacoidei: formed from original limacoid clade
- Infraorder Oleacinoidei[8]
- Oleacinoidea: formed from original Testacelloidea but with the family Testacellidae excluded;
- Haplotrematoidea: formed from original Rhytidoidea and Haplotrematidae[9]
- Infraorder Orthalicoidei
- Infraorder Pupilloidei (Orthurethra)
- Infraorder Rhytidoidei: formed by Rhytidoidea merging with contents from Acavoidea.
- Infraorder Succineoidei (Elasmognatha)
