From filibranchia with the Latin suffix '-ata' indicating membership in a class or group, used in biological taxonomy.
This taxonomic category groups together creatures as different as oysters, scallops, and mussels—proving that a single gill design can be so successful it's used by hundreds of different species across millions of years of evolution.
