A mollusk belonging to the Docoglossa group, or relating to this group; a type of sea snail with a simple radula pattern.
Derived from Docoglossa + '-an' suffix, forming both noun and adjective forms to describe members of this mollusk classification.
Scientists initially organized sea snails based on their radula patterns before DNA sequencing, so 'docoglossan' represents a visual classification system that mostly held up—a nice reminder that careful observation can reveal nature's real divisions.
