discussion
REMARKS The known families in this superfamily are the Patulibracchiidae, Pseudoaulophacidae and Suttoniidae, from the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic as well as the Angulobracchiidae Baumgartner 1980 and Tritrabidae Baumgartner 1980 in the Mesozoic (Dumitrica et al. 2013). Afanasieva et al. (2005) established a new order, Lobatiradiata, for the flat-shaped polycystines with three or more arms. These include the Angulobracchiidae, Patulibracchiidae, Hexaporobrachiidae, Hagiastridae, Suttoniidae and Myelastridae. However, a strong homeomorphy among them was repeatedly observed since 1980 s.
