The first species is affiliated to the Membraniporidae family , belonging to the suborder Anasca while
the other three species are affiliated to the Watersiporidae, Cryptosulidae and Schizoporellidae families
respectively. These families belong to the suborder Ascophora. A re-description, supplied with full structural
