Nat. 4 232), plural of ptéropode (in the same source) < ptéro- ptero- comb. form + -pode -pod comb. form, perhaps after Hellenistic Greek πτερόπους wing-footed (see Pteropus n.). Compare pteropod n.

1819 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 109 110 The shells which in structure and appearance approach nearest to argonauta, are unquestionably to be found in the Pteropoda.

1851 S. P. Woodward Man. Mollusca i. 7 The pteropoda only inhabit the sea, and swim with a pair of fins, extending outwards from the sides of the head.

1901 E. Step Shell Life xvi. 303 The Pteropoda, formerly regarded as a Natural Order, but now considered a sub-order of the Opisthobranchiata.

1958 J. E. Morton Molluscs v. 97 A special offshoot of the bulloids is seen in the thecosomatous pteropoda, which are small pelagic ciliary feeders.

1989 C. M. Lalli & R. W. Gilmer Pelagic Snails iv. 58 At one time the two groups [sc. Thecosomata and Gymnosomata] were placed together in a single taxonomic division, the Order Pteropoda, but it is now generally accepted that these mollusks are not that closely allied.
