Caenogastropoda
Caenogastropoda is a taxonomic clade of a large diverse group of mostly marine gastropods.
Caenogastropoda contains a majority of the families of shelled marine molluscs including such families as the periwinkles, cowries, wentletraps, moon snails, and cone snails.
About 60% of all living gastropods belong to Caenogastropoda.[3]
Biology
The Caenogastropoda exhibit torsion and thus are included in what was previously been called the Streptoneura (meaning twisted nerves), also known as Prosobranchia (meaning gills forward). Specifically, they are characterized by having only a single auricle in the heart and a single pair a gill leaflets, and are equivalent to the Monotocardia or Pectinobranchia of older authors.
Taxonomy
Caenogastropoda was first established by Leslie Reginald Cox in 1960 as a superorder[4] but now sometimes it is retained as a clade. This group combines the older taxa Mesogastropoda and Stenoglossa from classification by Johannes Thiele[5] and is equivalent to the Monotocardia as defined by Mörch in 1865, as revised.
Caenogastropoda can be divided into two major groups based on the anatomy of the radula:
- Taenioglossa (from taenio meaning band) which are the older Mesogastropoda in which there are typically seven teeth in each radular row.
- Stenoglossa (from steno meaning narrow), the Neogastropoda, in which there are only 1-3 teeth per row.
1997 taxonomy
Ponder & Lindberg, 1997 and others since (e.g. Vega et al., 2006[6]; Harzhauser, 2004[7]; and Pina, 2002.[8]) show Caenogastropoda as a superorder, following the sense of Cox, 1960. More recently Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005 revised Caenogastropoda as a clade, leaving taxonomic rank for later.
2005 taxonomy
The following classification was laid out in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):[5]
2006 taxonomy
Colgan et al. (2006)[9] provided further insight into the phylogeny of Caenogastropoda.
