非洲大蝸牛科

**非洲大蝸牛科**又名**瑪瑙螺科**（學名：Achatinidae）包括超過 100 個屬，都是原生於非洲的大型和中型陸生蝸牛，成蝸每年可以產 3-6 次卵，每次產卵因體形不同，每次產卵約 50-500 顆。

## 分佈

該科的蝸牛分佈於撒哈拉以南非洲。

## 解剖學

該科蝸牛的單倍體染色體大約有 26 到 30。

## 分類學

該科分類在非正式群體彎尿道亞目下，屬於柄眼亞目、真肺目，下領四個亞科。

2017 年，根據《布歇特等人的腹足類分類》，原來柄眼目之下的四大分類重組，本科成為了瑪瑙螺亞目的成員之餘，下領八個亞科的鑽頭螺科亦被併入本科。因此，非洲大蝸牛科成為了一個下領 12 個亞科的龐大分類，而不少亞科之下又再細分為多個族。

### 亞科
