Taxon Notes:

The family position of this genus is currently uncertain. While it is commonly included in the Oceaniidae, it has been separated into the Cordylophoridae by some workers, and genetic data places it close to Bougainvilliidae. Here, we retain it in the Oceaniidae pending clarification. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
