Classes in the Phylum Mollusca
1. Polyplacophora (G: many plate bearing = chitons)
2. Aplacophora (G: not shell bearing)
3. Monoplacophora (G: one shell bearing)
4. Gastropoda (G: Stomach foot)
5. Bivalvia = Pelecypoda (L. two valved[G: hatchet foot])
6. Scaphopoda (G: spade foot)
7. Class Cephalopoda (G: head foot) [odors from halitosis and toe cheese are hard to distinguish in this group.]

[edit] Classification
Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris)There are ten classes of molluscs, eight are still living, the others are known only from fossils. These classes make up the 250,000 and more species of mollusc:
Class Caudofoveata (deep-sea wormlike creatures; 70 known species); now generally recognized as a subclass of Aplacophora.
Class Aplacophora (solenogasters, deep-sea wormlike creatures; 250 species)
Class Polyplacophora (chitons; 600 species, rocky marine shorelines)
Class Monoplacophora (deep-sea limpet-like creatures; 11 living species)
Class Bivalvia (also Pelecypoda) (clams, oysters, scallops, mussels; 8,000 species)
Class Scaphopoda (tusk shells; 350 species, all marine)
Class Gastropoda (nudibranchs, snails and slugs, limpets, sea hares; sea angel, sea butterfly, sea lemon; estimated 40,000 - 150,000 species)
Class Cephalopoda (squid, octopodes, nautilus, cuttlefish; 786 species, all marine)
Class † Rostroconchia (fossils; probably more than 1,000 species; probable ancestors of bivalves)
Class † Helcionelloida (fossils; snail-like creatures such as Latouchella)
