Farhania

Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Braarudosphaerales -> Polycyclolithaceae -> Farhania
Sister taxa: Eprolithus, Radiolithus, Farhania, Lithastrinus, Uniplanarius, Quadrum, Micula, Palaeomicula

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Polycyclolithaceae): Nannoliths composed of two superposed wall cycles and a central-area which may be closed, open and vacant, or spanned by a diaphragm-like structure. Elements have tangential c-axis orientation.
This taxon: Eprolithid with narrow wall (formed from 16-24 small, brick-like elements) surrounding a wide central area spanned by an amedian diaphragm.

Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)
				Farhania varolii Eprolithid with narrow wall (formed from 16-24 small, brick-like elements) surrounding a wide central area spanned by an amedian diaphragm.
				Farhania sp. Specimens not identified to species level
