The gastropods, commonly known as snails and slugs, belong to a large taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum Mollusca called Gastropoda.
Littorina is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Littorinidae, the winkles or periwinkles.
The operculum is a corneous or calcareous anatomical structure like a trapdoor that exists in many groups of sea snails and freshwater snails, and also in a few groups of land snails; the structure is found in some marine and freshwater gastropods, and in a minority of terrestrial gastropods, including the families Helicinidae, Cyclophoridae, Aciculidae, Maizaniidae, Pomatiidae, etc.
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.
Pomacea is a genus of freshwater snails with gills and an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Ampullariidae, the apple snails. The genus is native to the Americas; most species in this genus are restricted to South America.
Architectonica is a genus of sea snails in the family Architectonicidae.
Freshwater snails are gastropod mollusks which live in fresh water. There are many different families. They are found throughout the world in various habitats, ranging from ephemeral pools to the largest lakes, and from small seeps and springs to major rivers. The great majority of freshwater gastropods have a shell, with very few exceptions. Some groups of snails that live in freshwater respire using gills, whereas other groups need to reach the surface to breathe air. In addition, some are amphibious and have both gills and a lung. Most feed on algae, but many are detritivores and some are filter feeders.
Comitas rotundata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.
Rochia conus, common name the cone top shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Tegulidae.
Tripterotyphis fayae is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Tripterotyphis lowei is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Tripterotyphis robustus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Tripterotyphis triangularis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Uttleya arcana is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.

Septa is a genus of small to large predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Cymatiidae.
Tripterotyphinae is a subfamily in the family Muricidae.
Terrestrial molluscs or land molluscs (mollusks) are an ecological group that includes all molluscs that live on land in contrast to freshwater and marine molluscs. They probably first occurred in the Carboniferous, arising from freshwater ones.
