Planorboidea is a superfamily of air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks.[1]
All of the gastropods in this superfamily are sinistral in shell coiling.
The monophyly of Planorboidea was confirmed by Albrecht et al. (2007).[2]
Thjs superfamily has now been recognised as a synonym of Lymnaeoidea Rafinesque, 1815.
