Distribution
The distribution of the Gastrocoptidae is nearly worldwide, although family is extinct in Europe since Pleistocene, except one species in Northern Caucasus. In fossil record from Paleocene.
Taxonomy
For some time was considered as a subfamily in Vertiginidae, some species of these two families are very similar by the shell's characters.
Genera in the family Gastrocoptidae include:
Subfamily Gastrocoptinae Pilsbry, 1918
- Gastrocopta Wollaston, 1878 - the type genus of the family, distributed nearly worldwide, over 100 species, in fossil record from Paleocene, very numerous and speciose in the Miocene deposits of Europe
- Balticopta Balashov & Perkovsky, 2020 - fossil from Eocene Baltic amber[3]
- Cavipupa Pilsbry, 1934 - endemic to Philippines
- Chaenaxis Pilsbry & Ferris, 1906 - North America
- Gibbulina Beck, 1837
- Ptychalaea Boettger, 1889 - fossil from Miocene and Eocene of Europe[3][4]
- Pumilicopta Solem, 1988 - Australia
- Ulpia Hylton Scott, 1955
Subfamily Hypselostomatinae Zilch, 1959 - distributed mainly in Southeastern Asia and Australia
- Hypselostoma Benson, 1856 - the type genus of the subfamily
- Acinolaemus Thompson & Upatham, 1997
- Anauchen Pilsbry, 1917

- Antroapiculus Panha & Burch, 1999
- Aulacospira Möllendorff, 1890
- Bensonella Pilsbry & Vanatta, 1900
- Boysia L. Pfeiffer, 1849
- Boysidia Ancey, 1881
- Dentisphaera Páll-Gergely & Jochum, 2017 - endemic to the caves in Northern Vietnam[5]
- Gyliotrachela Tomlin, 1930
- Krobylos Panha & Burch, 1999
- Montapiculus Panha & Burch, 1999
- Pseudostreptaxis Möllendorff, 1890

gollark: "Your computer caught a virus. You're going to need to sterilize it."
gollark: You'd also probably get, because these biological computing organisms would be in monoculturey environments optimized for maximum growth, and waste energy on non-essential-for-life stuff like computation, stuff adapting to prey on biological computers.
gollark: > antibodies
gollark: Also, you might end up with wild bacteria getting in and causing problems.
gollark: The self-replicating aspect gives you all the !!FUN!! of distributed computing systems and exciting new ones.
