Same characteristics of the family.

Valid species (based on Broch 1957; Williams 1995; López-González & Williams 2011)

Umbellula encrinus ( Linnaeus, 1758) , Umbellula lindahli Kölliker, 1874 , Umbellula thomsoni Kölliker, 1874 , Umbellula carpenteri Kölliker, 1880 , Umbellula durissima Kölliker, 1880 , Umbellula huxleyi

Remarks

Although in his revision of the family, Broch (1958) synonymized Umbellula dura Thomson & Henderson, 1906 with Umbellula durissima Kölliker, 1880 and Umbellula rosea Thomson & Henderson, 1906 with Umbellula thomsoni Kölliker, 1880 , we consider that, based on the original descriptions and images of U. dura and U. rosea , those species have important morphological characters to compare with our specimens.
