Editor's comment The grouping of the Superfamilies Smittinoidea, Schizoporelloidea, Urceoliporoidea, Didymoselloidea, Euthyriselloidea, Siphonicytarioidea, Mamilloporoidea, Celleporoidea, and Conescharellinoidea appears to be polyphyletic. At present, it seems simpler to keep these and the other superfamilies within one suborder, the Flustrina. Further understanding of the phylogeny of this large group of cheilostomes is needed before more detailed subdivision should be attempted. [details]
