Definition: Molluscoidea
Molluscoidea
\Mol`lus*coi"de*a\, n. pl. [NL. See
Mollusk, and
-oid.] (Zo["o]l.)
A division of Invertebrata which includes the classes
Brachiopoda and Bryozoa; -- called also
Anthoid Mollusca.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Originally the Tunicata were included under
Molluscoidea, from which they are known to differ
widely in structure and embryology. Molluscoidea were
formerly considered a subdivision of Mollusca, but they
are now known to have more relationship with Annelida
than with Mollusca.
