diagnosis
DIAGNOSIS. — Lithochytridoidea consist of two- to three-segmented Nassellaria with a stout vertical apical horn, a spherical cephalis, a conical or globular thorax, as well as three feet or a relevant structure. The feet are principally connected to the D- and double L-rods of the cephalic initial spicular system. Expect for a few exceptions, an aperture is present.
discussion
REMARKS The Lithochytridoidea consists of the Bekomidae and Lithochytrididae. Based on the results of the molecular phylogeny, Lamprotripus and Dictyopodium (= Pterocanium in original) form a tight, single group (Sandin et al. 2019).
