Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

I thoughts slugs came in both left and right handed varieties (as far as their internal twisting), and so the pneumostome might be on either side? I admit it is usually on the right. Billlion 19:55, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can't remember exactly where, but some zoology dictionary said it was on the right side, and any slug pictures I can find agrees with this, but please do add information if you've got a source. -Obli (Talk)? 21:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have never seen a sinistral specimen of a pulmonate slug, but apparently they do exist (very rarely). Aydin Orstan wrote about them in his blog SNAIL'S TALES at [1]. Invertzoo (talk) 18:33, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
