- Taxon Notes
- The family position of this genus has varied, and it has been placed variously in the Hippopodinidae, Schizoporellidae, Escharinidae and Romanchaeinidae - here we follow WoRMS (as at June 2020) and place it in the latter, pending a definitive revision including genetic data. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
