Plagiodontes is a recent genus of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the family Odontostomidae.[2][3]
Plagiodontes is sometimes considered a subgenus in the genus Cyclodontina. It occurs in tropical and sub-tropical regions of South America.[4]
Fossil record
[edit]The fossil record of Plagiodontes extends back to the Brazilian Paleocene, with a supposed specimen of Plagiodontes dentatus found in Itaboraí Basin.[1] This same species has also been recorded from the Miocene of Uruguay and Miocene and Pleistocene of Argentina.[5][6][7]

- Plagiodontes brackebuschii (Doering, 1877)
