Helicorhabdus

Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Podorhabdales -> Biscutaceae -> Helicorhabdus
Sister taxa: Biscutum, Discorhabdus, Similiscutum ⟩⟨ Boletuvelum, Chiastella, Crucibiscutum, Gaarderella, Gephyrobiscutum, Helicorhabdus, Jimenezberrocosoia, Seribiscutum, Sollasites

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Biscutaceae): Regular placoliths; rim broad, central area relatively narrow, with variable central structures.
The distal shield is formed from V-units and the proximal shield and tube cycle are formed from R-units.
This taxon: Circular with proximal shield wider than distal; spine with helical structure

Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)
				Helicorhabdus asymetricus Helicorhabdus species with well-developed spine topped by an asymmetric plate-like calyx
				Helicorhabdus sp. Specimens not identified to species level

Phylogenetic relations

Lambert included the genus in heterococcoliths incertae sedis, however, the basal structure seems similar to that of the Biscutaceae apart from the different relative sizes of the shields.
