  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Molluscoidea  \Mol`lus*coi"de*a\,  n.  pl  [NL.  See  {Mollusk},  and 
  {-oid}.]  (Zo["o]l.) 
  A  division  of  Invertebrata  which  includes  the  classes 
  Brachiopoda  and  Bryozoa;  --  called  also  {Anthoid  Mollusca}. 
 
  Note:  Originally  the  Tunicata  were  included  under 
  Molluscoidea,  from  which  they  are  known  to  differ 
  widely  in  structure  and  embryology.  Molluscoidea  were 
  formerly  considered  a  subdivision  of  Mollusca,  but  they 
  are  now  known  to  have  more  relationship  with  Annelida 
  than  with  Mollusca.
