Character analysis is performed based on anatomical information on 95 species of Sacoglossa (Mollusca, Opisthobranchia). Functional and developmental information is included, where available. Phylogenetic analysis to generic level is performed.

Evolutionary Ecology, 1997
Evolution in the opisthobranch order Sacoglossa has been closely linked to their specialized suctorial herbivorous habits. All shelled Sacoglossa (about 20% of the species) feed on one algal genus, Caulerpa. The non-shelled Sacoglossa have 'radiated' to other diets, mainly siphonalean or septate green algae (Class Ulvophyceae).

Chemical defense and evolution in the Sacoglossa (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia)
Chemoecology, 1998Recent advances in both the systematics and the natural products chemistry of the order Sacoglossa (=Ascoglossa) in the gastropod subclass Opisthobranchia suggest a revised and improved historical account of the evolution of the group. Although the algal genus Caulerpa makes a suitable model for the ancestral food of the order, other siphonaceous algae

The Reproductive Systems and Classification of the Stiligeridae (Opisthobranchia : Sacoglossa)
Summary The genus Limapontia is included in the family Stilileridae since species of both taxa display in their reproductive systems a common pattern which is described in detail for Ercolania margaritae and its main features are noted in Calliopaea oophaga. Placida dendritica, and three limapontiid species.

Persistence of Functional Chloroplasts in Elysia viridis (Opisthobranchia, Sacoglossa)
Nature New Biology, 1972SEVERAL species of sacoglossan mollusc retain in the cells of their digestive diverticula large numbers of chloroplasts derived from their food plants (mostly siphonaceous algae). These associations are capable of photosynthesis1–4. In freshly collected Elysia viridis (Montagu) (which obtains chloroplasts from Codium fragile (Sur.) Hariot) the net rate

Sacoglossan sea slugs retain the chloroplasts from food algae in their cells (kleptoplasty) and obtain the photosynthetic products, but the capability of kleptoplasty differs among species. One evolutionary hypothesis for kleptoplasty is that the family Volvatellidae is the ancestral sacoglossan lineage in which kleptoplasty arose, but this is based on

The food spectrum of Limapontia capitata (Opisthobranchia, Sacoglossa) is tentatively determined. A food preference among the algal species eaten by Limapontia capilata i.e. Cladophora spp., Chaetomorpha linum, and Bryopsis plumosa could not be detected.

Sacoglossa is a rather small taxon of marine slugs with about 300 described species, yet it is quite fascinating scientists for decades. This is mainly because of the ability of certain species to incorporate photosynthetically active plastids of their algae prey, a phenomenon known as functional kleptoplasty.
