Pleuroceridae, common name pleurocerids, is a family of small to medium-sized freshwater snails, aquatic gilled gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cerithioidea.These snails have an operculum and typically a robust high-spired shell.
Reproduction is iteroparous, and juvenile snails emerge from eggs laid on a firm surface by a gonochoristic female. There is no veliger stage.
As currently defined, this family is confined entirely to eastern North American fresh waters. Similar snails formerly classified with Pleuroceridae, but now assigned to other families are widespread in temperate and tropical parts of Southern and Eastern Asia, and Africa. Most require unpolluted rivers and streams, but a few are adapted to living in lakes or reservoirs.
The following two subfamilies have been recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):[3]
Subfamily Semisulcospirinae within Pleuroceridae was elevated to family level Semisulcospiridae by Strong & Köhler (2009).[4]
There is very high level of mitochondrial heterogeneity in apparent species of Pleuroceridae (highest among gastropods, also with Semisulcospiridae), that has not been sufficiently explained yet as of 2015.[5]
Genera within the family Pleuroceridae are organized in the one subfamily only since 2009 and they include:
Pleurocerinae

Pleuroceridae es una familia de caracoles de agua dulce de tamaño pequeño hasta medio, de moluscos gasterópodos en la superfamilia Cerithioidea. Estos caracoles tienen un opérculo y concha espiral con muchas tornas.
Reproducción es iterópara, y caracoles jóvenes emergen de huevos puestos en una superficie estable por una hembra.
Especies de esta familia están totalmente confinados hasta aguas dulces en el este de América del Norte.
Las siguientes dos subfamilias son aceptadas en taxonomía de las Gastropodas de Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005:[3]
Subfamilia Semisulcospirinae en Pleuroceridae ha sido elevada hasta nivel 'familia' Semisulcospiridae por Strong & Köhler (2009).[4]
Géneros en la familia Pleuroceridae son organizados en una única subfamilia desde 2009 e incluyen:
