Treatment

Superfamily CENTROCUBOIDEA Hollande & Enjumet, 1960 sensu Dumitrica (2001)

Centrocubidae Hollande & Enjumet, 1960: 48 , 51, 69, 120-121.

Centrocubacea [sic] – Dumitrica 2001: 193 (= Centrocuboidea ).

DIAGNOSIS. — The central structure is very small: a simple frame made of short bars with several sharp corners. The external skeleton is outside the central structure. It is spherical, made of a normal latticed shell, a spongy layered shell, and is full of coarse polygonal meshes.

REMARKS

The Centrocuboidea consist of the Centrocubidae (Clade H), Excentroconchidae (Clade I), Quinquecapsulariidae and Spongodrymidae (Clade I) in the Cenozoic. The presence of sharp corners on the edges of the central structure is helpful in differentiating Centrocuboidea from other superfamilies such as the Rhizosphaeroidea .
