ENTACTINARIA
Kozur & Mostler, 1982
Molecular phylogenetic lineage III (
Sandin
et al.
2021
)
DIAGNOSIS. — One, to rarely two or three, spherical cortical shells, whose wall are made of a spongy layer or of a spherical shape consisting of a full coarse mesh. The central cubic structure is framed with sharp corners and contains a heteropolar microsphere; with
MB and two A-rays on its top. Following an author’s recommen- dation (PD), the Lineage III is regarded as a living
Entactinaria
. Nonetheless, it is noted that the true genus
Entactinia
have a MB and two sets of radial rays at both ends; however, it has never been observed in living
Entactinaria
(
Nakamura

REMARKS
We include the
Rhizosphaeroidea
(Clade G:
Haliommilla
,
Rhizosphaera
),
Centrocuboidea
(Clade H:
Octodendron
; Clade I:
Plegmosphaeromma
),
Centrolonchoidea
,
Heliosaturnaloidea
and
Thalassothamnoidea
in the
Entactinaria sensu Dumitrica
, but the diagnosis for the Lineage III shown above does not include
Centrolonchoidea
,
Heliosaturnaloidea
and
Thalassothamnoidea
due to the lack of molecular support. The axopodial system was regarded as a determinant character applicable to superfamily or order level taxonomy (
Hollande
& Enjumet 1960
;
Cachon & Cachon 1985
). However, molecular phylogenetic studies (
Sandin
et al.
2021
) discarded this hypothesis.
