Body: very wide foot, differentiated anteriorly into a podium; head broadens into a cephalic disc which has two lateroposterior lobes, incorrectly called tentacles; eyes are sessile; gill, osphradium and penis are inside the mantle cavity; radula lacks rachidial teeth and has a very large number of lateral teeth.
