Taxonomy

Citation: Circodiscus Kozlova, in Petrusevskaya & Kozlova 1972

Rank: genus

Basionym: Circodiscus

Taxonomic discussion: Has been assigned to Spongodiscidae, here assigned to Larnacillidae following new classification being developed by Suzuki & co-workers

Catalog entries: Circodiscus

Original description: Slightly convex skeleton with round or oval outline. Consists of frontal, sagittal and equatorial girdles, their wings connected to form regular round or oval rings. First system is of the ""Trizonium-type"" (in sensu Haeckel), its dimension = 30-40µm, with fully developed girdles; in the rest of them, only the equatorial girdle is fully developed; sagittal and frontal girdles terminate at the point of the junction with the ring of the previous system; distance between ‘width of rings) is considerably larger than the diameter of the central chamber. Soines (four main and four secondary) pass inside of the skeleton. Rim is smooth.
