† ORDER CALANTICOMORPHA ORD. NOV.
Diagnosis: Capitulum with three to five pairs of larger lateral plates; subrostrum and subcarina usually present; smaller laterals variably developed, often absent.
Comment: Calanticomorpha are a paraphyletic assemblage of pedunculate forms, which are sister taxa to the Cretaceous–Recent Scalpellidae ; only the Calanticidae survive to the present and represent a morphologically diverse group, which is shown to be monophyletic from molecular analyses ( Lin et al., 2015).
