WHAT DOES PROSOBRANCH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

prosobranch

Prosobranchia

Not to be confused with the bivalve order Protobranchia. Shells from a variety of prosobranch gastropods, from Ernst Haeckel's Artforms of Nature, 1904. Prosobranchia was a large taxonomic subclass of sea snails, land snails and freshwater snails. This taxon of gastropods dates back to the 1920s. It has however been proven to be polyphyletic. Generally speaking in biology taxonomy is required to reflect phylogeny, in other words the classification of a group must reflect its evolutionary descent, as far as that is known, so the taxon Prosobranchia is no longer considered suitable to be used. One can still encounter this subclass used as if it is still valid in many texts and websites. Although Prosobranchia is no longer generally accepted as a taxon by people who study living Mollusca, still the term prosobranch is legitimately used as an anatomically descriptive adjective or noun, and the taxon Prosobranchia is still sometimes used by paleontologists. Prosobranch means gills in front. In contrast opisthobranch means gills behind.
