Euopisthobranchia is a taxonomic
slugs in the clade Heterobranchia within the clade Euthyneura
.
This clade was established as a new taxon by Jörger et al. in October 2010.
Euopisthobranchia consist of the following taxa:[1]
- Umbraculoidea
- Anaspidea
- Runcinacea
- Pteropoda
- Cephalaspidea s.s.
Gizzard
Previous studies discussed the
synapomorphy of the larger clade of Paratectibranchia (Pteropoda, Cephalaspidea and Anaspidea) and Eleutherobranchia, secondarily lost in Nudipleura but still present in Umbraculoidea.[1] As coded in Wägele and Klussmann-Kolb, phylogenetic hypothesis by Jörger et al. (2010)[1] supports homology of the gizzard in Umbraculoidea with the gizzard with gizzard plates and spines in the other euopisthobranchian taxa.[1] Thus, the structure is proposed as a synapomorphy of Euopisthobranchia.[1]
