Staurostylida Haeckel, 1882: 450 [nomen dubium, as a tribe].

TYPE GENUS. — Tubosphaera Popofsky, 1917: 268 [type species by monotypy: Tubosphaera quadrispina Popofsky, 1917: 268].

INCLUDED GENERA. — Staurosphaerella Haeckel, 1887: 154 . — Stauroxiphos Haeckel, 1887: 163 (= Staurolonchidium n. syn.). — Stylostaurus Haeckel, 1882: 450 . — Tubosphaera Popofsky, 1917: 268.

NOMINA DUBIA. — Staurosphaeromma , Staurostylus .

DIAGNOSIS. — Skeleton consists of four radial spines and one to three spherical shells.

STRATIGRAPHIC OCCURRENCE. — late Middle Eocene-Living.

REMARKS

This new family is represented by some genera previously included in the “Staurostylidae”. Because the type genus Staurostylus is a nomen dubium based on a poorly illustrated Mesozoic specimen, a new family name is required. There are some doubts regarding the phylogenetic relationships among the assigned genera, but no other appropriate family is yet available.

VALIDITY OF GENERA

Stauroxiphos

Real specimens with two shells and four decussate radial spines aligned on the equatorial plane are quite rare. Staurolonchidium is synonymized with Stauroxiphos for an easy identification until new information is provided in the future.

Incertae familiae spumellarians

INCLUDED GENERA. — Peritiviator Pessagno, 1976: 45 . — Tanochenia Dumitrica, 2014b: 95 . — Tepka Sanfilippo & Riedel in Sanfilippo et al., 1973: 228.

REMARKS

Hollis (1997: 43; pl. 4, fig. 16) regarded Peritiviator as a genus of Phorticiidae (originally Pyloniidae View in CoL ). However, the high contrast photo makes this impossible to confirm. Tepka was once considered as Nassellaria ( Riedel & Sanfilippo 1977: 870) View in CoL but nothing is known about the complete appearance of this genus, making this grouping impossible to confirm. Tanochenia seems to be an endemic form; its internal skeletal structure was already illustrated ( Dumitrica 2014b: pl. 1, figs 1-4).
