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.
