PULMONATE - 2 reference results
The Pulmonata or "pulmonates" are an order (once a subclass) of snails and slugs that have developed a pallial lung and thus can breathe air. The group includes many land and freshwater families and a few marine ones.
Pulmonata are known from the Carboniferous to the recent periods.
