Extract

Onchidella celtica (Cuvier) is the only representative of its genus found on our shores. Included in the Sub-order Stylommatophora of the Pulmonates, it is believed to be a land mollusc that has reverted to a marine habitat. It is quite devoid of a shell and closely allied to the land slugs.
