Order Dendrochirotida Grube, 1840 View in CoL
Family Phyllophoridae Öestergren, 1907 (sensu Pawson and Fell 1965)
Diagnosis (after Pawson and Fell 1965). Dendrochirotida with calcareous ring composite with posterior extensions to the plates, the extensions composed of small pieces.
Remarks. Pawson and Fell 1965 abandoned tentacle number as the principal diagnostic criterion for family Phyllophoridae , and based their new diagnosis on the presence of a composite calcareous ring as described in the diagnosis above.
