sensu Dumitrica (1984) Stylosphaerida Haeckel, 1887: 121[as a family], 133 [as a subfamily]. Stylosphaerilae – Dumitrica 1984: 98[as a sub-superfamily].
DIAGNOSIS. — Spumellarian consists of one to three shells with bipolar, bladed spines. The innermost shell is pyriform shape.
REMARKS This superfamily consists of the Entapiidae, Stylatractidae, Stylosphaeridae, and Tubosphaeridae Suzuki, n. fam.However, both Stylatractidaeand Tubosphaeridae Suzuki, n. fam.were excluded from the diagnosis above.The appropriate superfamily distribu - tions of the Tubosphaeridae Suzuki, n.fam.and Stylatractidaeare uncertain because of the absence of a pear-shaped internal shell.
