Lower Heterobranchia, also known as the Allogastropoda, is a group of rather specialized, highly evolved sea slugs and sea snails, (marine gastropod mollusks) within the subclass Heterobranchia. [1]
Although the great majority of Lower Heterobranchs are indeed marine, a few have succeeded in making the transition to freshwater.
