Pulmonata
infraclass of class “Gastropods“
1 infraclass, 2 families, 4 species
This summary discusses the taxonomy of Gastropoda, specifically focusing on the order Pulmonata. It provides a breakdown of the different suborders, superfamilies, and infraorders within Pulmonata according to different taxonomic classifications from 1997, 2005, and 2010. The 2010 taxonomy proposed a more inclusive taxon called Panpulmonata to unite various clades within Pulmonata. Additionally, the summary includes suggested further reading and external links related to pulmonate snails and slugs in captivity.

2005 taxonomy#
The taxonomy of this group according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005) was as follows:
2010 taxonomy#
Jörger et al. (2010) analyzed major groups within the Heterobranchia using genetic data and found that Pulmonata as traditionally defined was polyphyletic, for instance some pulmonates were more closely related to Sacoglossa and Acochlidia. They proposed the more inclusive taxon Panpulmonata to unite the clades Siphonarioidea, Sacoglossa, Glacidorboidea, Pyramidelloidea, Amphiboloidea, Hygrophila, Acochlidia and Eupulmonata.
