Aplousobranchia is a suborder of sea squirts in the order Enterogona. They are colonial animals, and are distinguished from other sea squirts by the presence of relatively simple pharyngeal baskets. The posterior part of the abdomen contains the heart and gonads, and is typically larger than in other sea squirts.
