== Taxonomy == In 1822, Férussac introduced the vernacular family “les Pleurobranches” to refer to known members of the current family Pleurobranchidae. In 1832, in the second volume of Histoire naturelle des vers of the Encyclopédie Méthodique by Deshayes, the same term was also used to refer to a higher-level group containing the genera Pleurobranchaea and Pleurobranchus, also grouped as “les Pleurobranches”, and Siphonaria and Umbrella, grouped as "les Ombrelles". The term was later latinized by Herrmannsen in 1847 as the suborder Pleurobranchia.
