Diagnosis Mariametroidea with adoral side of centrodorsal with interradial ridges and with undivided coelomic impression in each radial area (some Mariametra and Lamprometra). Cirri of <40 cirrals (to 80 in Oxymetra). Radial articular facet steep; interarticular fossae large and high. Adoral muscle fossae low, curved along adoral edge and midradial furrow. Brachitaxes always of 2 ossicles joined by synarthry; usually <40 arms (>40 in Oxymetra). Articular facets joining ossicles of proximal pinnules normal (except almost flat and featureless in Stephanometra). [Several genera imperfectlydistinguished on the basis of relative lengths of proximal 3 pinnules.] [details]
