Euthyneura is a taxonomic infraclass of snails and slugs, which includes species exclusively from marine, aquatic and terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the clade Heterobranchia. Euthyneurans are a diverse group, containing about 40% of the known species of gastropods, including the major land snail and slug clade Stylommatophora, which contains over 20,000 species, various sea slug lineages such as nudibranchs, the parasitic sea snail family Pyramidellidae, one of the most diverse families of gastropods with over 6,000 species, and several other lineages of snails and slugs from a variety of h

Euthyneura is a taxonomic infraclass of snails and slugs, which includes species exclusively from marine, aquatic and terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the clade Heterobranchia. Euthyneurans are a diverse group, containing about 40% of the known species of gastropods, including the major land snail and slug clade Stylommatophora, which contains over 20,000 species, various sea slug lineages such as nudibranchs, the parasitic sea snail family Pyramidellidae, one of the most diverse families of gastropods with over 6,000 species, and several other lineages of snails and slugs from a variety of habitats.

Historically, euthyneurans were considered to be divided into two groups, the predominantly marine Opisthobranchia, which contained most sea slugs, and the air-breathing Pulmonata. Phylogenetic analyses have since revealed that opisthobranchs are a paraphyletic group, with some lineages more closely related to traditional pulmonates than to other opisthobranchs, and that the non-pulmonate acochlidians and pyramidellids belong among pulmonates. A monophyletic core of Opisthobranchia, named Euopisthobranchia, remains, while pulmonates, acochlidians, pyramidellids, and the closely-related "opisthobranch" group Sacoglossa form the clade Panpulmonata and nudibranchs and their close relatives form an earlier-diverging group.
