Pulmonata

Japanese: Pulmonata
Pulmonata

…It can refer to all land mollusks, but more precisely, to mollusks belonging to the Pulmonata genus, which breathe through a mantle cavity rather than through gills, and particularly to the larger species within that genus. The "tsumuri" in "nail" means "tsubu" (pot), that is, a snail with an inflated shell, but the meaning of "kata" is unclear.

From [Mollusks]

...Sea hares, sea slugs, and sea slugs belong to this group. (c) Pulmonata: Most of them have a rolled shell, but lack a lid. The nerves do not cross.

From [Gastropods]

...All are marine. (3) Pulmonata: Usually, the shell is rolled up on the back, but this is absent in slugs. The head has antennae, eyes, and a mouth, and the anus opens forward into the mantle cavity.
