Panpulmonata is a taxonomic clade of snails and slugs in the clade Heterobranchia within the clade Euthyneura.[1]
Panpulmonata was established as a new taxon by Jörger et al. in October 2010.[1]
The scientific meaning of the name "Pulmonata" and the corresponding major feature of those animals being "air-breathers" surely are not applicable to the novel panpulmonate groups Acochlidia, Sacoglossa and Pyramidelloidea, but also not for traditional pulmonate taxa such as Siphonarioidea or Hygrophila, most members of which lack permanently air-filled lungs.[1] The term Panpulmonata has been chosen by Jörger et al. (2010) for continuity in terminology.[1]
Panpulmonata consist of following taxa:[1]
- Siphonarioidea
- Sacoglossa
- Glacidorboidea
- Amphiboloidea
- Pyramidelloidea
- Hygrophila
- Acochlidiacea (mentioned as Acochlidia)
- Eupulmonata: Stylommatophora, Systellommatophora, Ellobioidea, Otinoidea, Trimusculoidea.
