Taxonomic rank: genus
Synonyms: Distephanus this name has been widely used but it is a homonym of a plant genus and so unavailable. Jordan & McCartney (2015) argue that the distinction of this group from Dictyocha is of real value and so proposed the alternative name, for both living and fossil taxa.
