Dyakiidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Dyakioidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).^[2]

Dyakiidae is the only family in the superfamily Dyakioidea.^[2] This family has no subfamilies.^[2]

Distribution

The family Dyakiidae is endemic to Sundaland in Southeast Asia.^[3]

Anatomy

In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 26 and 30 (according to the values in this table).^[4]

The family also include Quantula striata, the only known terrestrial gastropod to emit light.^[5]

Digestive system characteristics: Buccal mass is small. The jaw is smooth. The stomach is very simple with weak muscles (as is the case in the majority of land snails).^[4] (This anatomy characteristics include family Staffordiidae as as a part of Dyakiidae).^{[clarification needed]}

The family Dyakiidae includes the following 11 genera, with altogether 82 species (71 species up to 2007^[6] + 11 new species in 2009^[7]):

• Asperitas Gray, 1857 - 14 species
