The order Cephalaspidea, also known as the headshield slugs and bubble snails, is a major taxon of sea slugs and bubble snails, marine gastropod mollusks within the larger clade Euopisthobranchia.[1]Bubble shells is another common name for these families of marine gastropods, some of which have thin bubble-like shells.[2] This clade contains more than 600 species.[3]
Members of this worldwide clade used to be considered the most ancestral of the opisthobranchs, but now they are considered as derived and specialized members of the Euthyneura Spengel, 1881.[4]
Headshield slugs are the most morphologically diverse group of all the opisthobranchs.[citation needed]
