Taxonomy:

Synonyms:

Taxonomic discussion: Generic classification within this group is now primarily based on the archaeopyle type - i.e. the number of plates interpreted to have formed the archaeopyle, largely following Streng et al. (2004). Nannofosil workers havetraditionally inlcuded most of these in Thoracosphaera
