Family Calanticidae Zevina, 1978

Remarks. The Calanticidae includes 10 extant and five extinct genera (Newman 1996, Jones 1998, Young 2003), the most generalized of which, Scillaelepas , was known from the fossil record ( Seguenza, 1876) before a living representative was discovered in the deep-sea ( Aurivillius, 1894). As will be seen below, the calanticid reported upon herein belongs to Calantica , a genus that has diverged little from the stem form.
