Reproduction
Aside from the general information know about mollusks, little information is available on the specifics of the snail's reproductive habits. They are however, assumed to be oviparous (Pilsbury 1948). This is to say that they are an egg-laying species with little or no other embryonic development taking place within the parent.
Pupoides also has several anatomical reproductive adaptations that separate it from the family. The insertion of its penial retractor is at the base of the epiphallus instead of to the side as seen in Pupilla. The epiphallar arm of its penis is simpler by comparison and they lack a spermathecal diverticulum. It is also noted that it has the structurally simplest genitalia of the group(Pilsbury 1948).
