{{Short description|Historic group of molluscs}} '''Eogastropoda''' was a previously used [[Taxonomy (biology)|taxonomic]] category of [[snail]]s or [[gastropod]]s, a subclass which was erected by [[Winston Ponder|Ponder]] and [[David R. Lindberg|Lindberg]] in 1997. It was one of two great divisions (subclasses) of the [[class (biology)|class]] [[Gastropoda]], the [[snail]]s. The other subclass of gastropods was the [[Orthogastropoda]].

Eogastropoda were the more primitive of the two subclasses, representing a much older line of gastropods. This subclass contained all of the true [[limpet]]s.

==Orders== Orders within the Eogastropoda consisted of: * [[Patellogastropoda]] * [[Euomphalina]] (fossil) * [[Neomphalida]]
