Plectopyloidea is a taxonomic superfamily of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the suborder Helicina.

[1][2] The superfamily Plectopyloidea consists of the following families (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005): Plectopylidae ranges across large parts of southeast Asia from Nepal to southern Japan.

[3] The Plectopylidae differ from the Corillidae by the presence of one or two vertical (= perpendicular to the suture) lamellae on the parietal wall, approximately a quarter to a half whorl behind the aperture.

[3] In contrast, the Corillidae have only horizontal (= parallel with the suture) parietal plicae (in Corilla all plicae may be absent).
