The subclass Prosobranchia and the order Archeogastropoda (Archaeogastropods) are not accepted anymore as paraphyletic taxon. Prosobranchia is not used any more. Archeogastropoda are now distributed in the following subclasses: Patellogastropoda, Vetigastropoda, Cocculiniformia, Neritimorpha
Die Unterklasse Prosobranchia (Vorderkiemer) und die Ordnung Archeogastropoda (Altschnecken) sind nicht mehr als eine paraphyletische Taxon annerkannt. Prosobranchia (Vorderkiemer) wird nicht mehr gebraucht. Archeogastropoda wurde auf folgende Unterklassen verteilt: Patellogastropoda, Vetigastropoda, Cocculiniformia, Neritimorpha

Identification Key: The difference between Hiatavolva coarctata (below) and Aclyvolva lanceolata (above) can mainly be seen when comparing the inner shell: Aclyvolva lanceolata is more elongate and brown, Hiatavolva coarctata wider in the middle and a lighter color. When covered with the mantle the difference is nearly not discernable. Both are red and have retractable pappilae in the shape of coral polyps, both live on sea whips of the genus Juncella. ![]() |
Identifikations-Hilfe: Der Unterschied zwischen Hiatavolva coarctata (unten) und Aclyvolva lanceolata (oben) ist vor allem beim inneren Schneckenhaus zu sehen: _Aclyvolva lanceola_ta ist länglicher und braun, Hiatavolva coarctata breiter in der Mitte und heller. Wenn das Schneckenhaus mit dem Mantel bedeckt ist sieht man fast keinen Unterschied. Beide sind rot und haben einziehbare Papillen in der Form von Korallenpolypen, beide leben auf Peitschenkorallen der Gattung Juncella. ![]() |
