The clade Anaspidea, commonly known as sea hares (Aplysia species and related genera), are medium-sized to very large opisthobranch gastropod molluscs with a soft internal shell made of protein. These are marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamilies Aplysioidea and Akeroidea. The common name "sea hare" is a direct translation from lepus marinus, as the animal's existence was known in Roman times. The name derives from their rounded shape and from the two long rhinophores that project upward from their heads and that somewhat resemble the ears of a hare. Many older textbooks and websites refer to this suborder as "Anaspidea". The original author Paul Henri Fischer described the taxon Anaspidea at unspecified rank above family. In 1925 Johannes Thiele established the taxon Anaspidea as a suborder. Since the taxon Anaspidea was not based on an existing genus, this name is no longer available according to the rules of the ICZN. Anaspidea has been replaced in the new Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005) by the clade Aplysiomorpha. The scientific name for the order in which they used to be classified, the Anaspidea, is derived from the Greek for "without a shield" and refers to the lack of the characteristic head shield found in the cephalaspidean opisthobranchs. Many anaspideans have only a thin, internal and much-reduced shell with a small mantle cavity; some have no shell at all. All species have a radula and gizzard plates. Jörger et al. (2010) have moved this taxon (named as Anaspidea) to Euopisthobranchia. The name "Aplysiomorpha" was preferred by Bouchet and Rocroi (2005) over "Anaspidea Fischer", 1883, but the authors now agree that there is a consistent usage for Anaspidea in the recent literature and that the older name must be preferred. Sea hares are mostly rather large, bulky creatures when adults. Juveniles are mainly unobserved on the shoreline. The biggest species, Aplysia vaccaria, can reach a length of and a weight of and is arguably the largest gastropod species.

Mollusca

Les mollusques (Mollusca) sont un embranchement d'animaux lophotrochozoaires. Ce sont des animaux non segmentés, à symétrie bilatérale quelquefois altérée. Leur corps se compose généralement d'une tête, d'une masse viscérale, et d'un pied. La masse viscérale est recouverte en tout ou partie par un manteau, qui sécrète une coquille calcaire. Le système nerveux comprend un double collier périœsophagien. La cavité générale est plus ou moins réduite au péricarde et aux néphridies.

Anaspidea

Anaspidea est un ordre de mollusques gastéropodes opisthobranches contenant notamment les aplysies ou « lièvres de mer ». Selon , cet ordre des mollusques contient les familles : super-famille Akeroidea Mazzarelli, 1891 famille Akeridae Mazzarelli, 1891 -- 1 genre, 6 espèces super-famille Aplysioidea Lamarck, 1809 famille Aplysiidae Lamarck, 1809 -- 11 genres, 69 espèces y rajoute les Notarchidae. Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) utilise l'appellation synonyme « Aplysiomorpha » pour ce groupe, mais Anaspidea est plus utilisé dans le monde scientifique.

Escargot de mer

Sea snail is a common name for slow-moving marine gastropod molluscs, usually with visible external shells, such as whelk or abalone. They share the taxonomic class Gastropoda with slugs, which are distinguished from snails primarily by the absence of a visible shell. Determining whether some gastropods should be called sea snails is not always easy. Some species that live in brackish water (such as certain neritids) can be listed as either freshwater snails or marine snails, and some species that live at or just above the high tide level (for example, species in the genus Truncatella) are sometimes considered to be sea snails and sometimes listed as land snails.
