Changes In The Taxonomy Of Gastropods Since 2005
This overview lists proposed changes in the Gastropoda#Taxonomy, taxonomy of gastropods at the Family (biology), family level and above since 2005, when the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) was published. In other words, these are recent updates in the way various groups of snails and slugs are biological classification, classified. Changes in subfamilies are outlined in the respective articles about each particular family. Unchanged taxa are not listed here. In one of the largest recent changes (affecting the most species of gastropods), Klussmann-Kolb ''et al.'' (2008) showed that the traditional classification of the Euthyneura needed to be reconsidered. The change was subsequently made by Jörger ''et al.'' (2010), who redefined the major groups within the Heterobranchia. A great number of major changes have been made within the classification of the Conoidea since 2011. In the 2017 issue of "Malacologi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gastropoda
Gastropods (), commonly known as slugs and snails, belong to a large Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum Mollusca called Gastropoda (). This class comprises snails and slugs from saltwater, freshwater, and from the land. There are many thousands of species of sea snails and sea slug, slugs, as well as freshwater snails, freshwater limpets, land snails and slugs. The class Gastropoda is a diverse and highly successful class of mollusks within the phylum Mollusca. It contains a vast total of named species, second only to the insects in overall number. The fossil history of this class goes back to the Furongian, Late Cambrian. , 721 family (taxonomy), families of gastropods are known, of which 245 are extinct and appear only in the fossil record, while 476 are currently neontology, extant living fossil, with or without a fossil record. Gastropoda (previously known as univalves and sometimes spelled "Gasteropoda") are a major part of the phylum Mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pelagiellidae
Pelagiellidae is an extinct family of Paleozoic fossil 'snails'. Some material assigned to this taxon represents gastropod molluscs, but some chaeta-bearing specimens first assigned to ''Pelagiella'' (now '' Pseudopelagiella'') are perhaps better interpreted as tube-bearing annelid worms.

Stenothecidae
Stenothecidae is an extinct family of fossil univalved Cambrian molluscs which may be either gastropods or monoplacophorans. The name of this taxon should not be confused with that of the class Stenothecoida, a group of problematic Cambrian invertebrates that have a bivalved (dorsal and ventral) shell. Morphology The group comprises conical laterally compressed shells that may be smooth or ornamented with folds or ribs. The shells are broadly limpet-like, which led to their initial consideration as monoplacophoran molluscs. Taxonomy The taxonomic position of the group is unclear; it has been classified as a Yochelcionelloid or Helcionelloid. It is not obviously in the stem group of any modern molluscan class, and has been referred to the monoplacophora, although the monoplacophora are no longer considered to be a clade, and thus that classification means little more than "primitive mollusc". Genera The family Stenothecidae consists of two subfamilies and the follow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Yochelcionellidae
''Yochelcionella'' is an extinct genus of basal molluscs which lived during the Tommotian epoch, the first epoch of the Cambrian period. This genus is often reconstructed to resemble snails. ''Yochelcionella'' is the type genus of the family Yochelcionellidae. Description This genus of molluscs possessed shells which were shaped like curved caps, with an exhaust pipe shaped " snorkel" emanating underneath where the apex (point of the shell) curves over. It is believed that the "snorkel" was used in breathing, allowing waste water to flow away from the gills. Taxonomy When they were first discovered, they were originally thought to be monoplacophorans. Their snorkel may represent a move towards a tubular shell, such as is seen in the modern scaphopods. It has also been interpreted as a precursor to the cephalopod funnel or siphuncle. The taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005Bouchet P. & Rocroi J.-P.
