In order to establish an updated checklist of terrestrial gastropod from Tunisia, a revision of the species of Sphincterochilidae is presented, using bibliographic and museum records and the results of our own field work. As a result, only two species, Sphincterochila candidissima and Sphincterochila tunetana, are accepted to occur in Tunisia, and their type specimens are illustrated. The study of the morphological characters of the genital organs of both species clarified their subgeneric affiliation. Comparison of Sphincterochila tunetana with Sphincterochila cariosa from Lebanonshowed that the first has to be classified within the subgenus Albea, and the latter within Sphincterochila s. str.; the subgenus Rima Pallary, 1910 remains in the synonymy of Sphincterochila s. str. Bibliographic records of Sphincterochila baetica and Sphincterochila otthiana from Tunisia could not be confirmed, the latter probably lives close to the border with Algeria.
为了建立一份更新的突尼斯陆生腹足纲动物清单，本文利用文献资料、博物馆记录以及我们自己的野外工作成果，对旋唇螺科的物种进行了修订。结果显示，突尼斯仅存在两种旋唇螺，即洁白旋唇螺和突尼斯旋唇螺，并对它们的模式标本进行了图示。对这两个物种生殖器官形态特征的研究明确了它们的亚属归属。将突尼斯旋唇螺与来自黎巴嫩的卡里奥斯旋唇螺进行比较后发现，前者应归入阿尔贝亚亚属，后者应归入狭义的旋唇螺属；1910年帕拉里的里马亚属仍为狭义旋唇螺属的同义词。来自突尼斯的贝蒂卡旋唇螺和奥特希亚旋唇螺的文献记录无法得到证实，后者可能生活在与阿尔及利亚接壤的边境附近。
