DIAGNOSIS. — Larcospiroideawith systems of three elliptical girdles in 3 successive, perpendicular planes. First system (medullary shell) consists of a heteropolar microsphere with 12 pores, an antapical sagittal ring and two lateral arches. The following system repeats the first system previously described several times. A Protoplasm is documented for Tetrapyle. The endoplasm occupies the shell and occasionally the external most girdle, depending on its growth stage. The central part of the endoplasm tends to be reddish in color and is surrounded by a light brown endoplasm. The nucleus is located inside the second pseudo-concentric shell in the sense of Suzuki& Zhang (2016). Several dozens of algal symbionts surround the endoplasm. Hundreds of pseudopodia radiate from the entire protoplasm. One axoflagellum, rarely two, extend on the side of the external most girdle’s polar region. Gelatinous material covers all skeletons.
STRATIGRAPHIC OCCURRENCE. — late Late Miocene-Living.
REMARKS The family name “ Pyloniidae” has been widely used, but it is impossible to retain this common family name as the “ Pyloniidae” is based on an unillustrated typespecies. The oldest available name, “Zonarida”, was automatically selected as a valid family name. Tetrapyleis often confused with Phorticium(Phorticiidae)in practical work regardless of their fundamental differences at the superfamily level. According to Zhang & Suzuki (2017: 42), Phorticiumtends to possess numerous pillar beams between the pseudo-concentric shells. Otherwise, the presence or absence of the S1a-girdle is the only way to differentiate these two genera. Internal skeletal structure was illustrated for Tetrapyle( Dumitrica 1989: pl. 15, figs 12, 13; Sugiyama et al.1992: pl. 11, figs 1-4). Algal symbionts of Tetrapylewere identified as Brandtodinium nutricula( Probert et al.2014). Living and protoplasmic images were captured for Tetrapyle( Matsuoka et al.2001: pl. 1, fig. 2; Suzuki& Aita 2011: fig. 4Q; Probert et al.2014: S1, Vil 231; Suzuki& Not 2015: fig. 8.8.25; Matsuoka et al.2017: appendix A; Zhang & Suzuki 2017: figs 7.1-7.8). Fine protoplasmic structure for Tetrapylewas illustrated ( Hollande& Enjumet 1960: pl. 24, fig. 3).
VALIDITY OF GENERA Tetrapyle These synonymized genera with Tetrapyleare considered to be erected for different ontogenetic growth stages and different appearances differently oriented as such as the Amphitholidaeand Pylodiscidae(Ogane & Suzuki 2009: fig. 3; Zhang & Suzuki 2017: fig. 3). The morphological terminology follows Zhang & Suzuki (2017)as briefly explained in the “Validity of genera” for the Amphitholidae. First it is necessary to determine the number of pseudo-concentric shells referred to the type-illustration in Haeckel (1887), the size of the specimens and supporting images for these available names. Amphiaspislooks to have two pseudo-concentric shells. Schizommalooks similar to Amphiapis; but the shell size is twice in Schizommathan in Amphiaspis, having three pseudo-concentric shells. The genera with three pseudo-concentric shells are Amphipylura, Larnacantha, Octopylura, Pylonura, Tetrapyle, Tetrapylissa, Trizonaris, Zonarium, Zonidiumand Zoniscus. The typeillustration of Dizonitesis very ambiguous but it presumably possess three pseudo-concentric shell in consideration of its size. Echinosphaerais the largest among the synonymized genera here but it is difficult to specify the number of its pseudo-concentric shells. According to Zhang & Suzuki(2017: fig. 3), the morphotype with three pseudo-concentric shells has nine possibilities by the outermost girdle (G1, G2 or G3) and the anatomical orientation under the absolute Cartesian coordinates (Lt-, Pl- and Sg-views). From the Lt-view, the opening (gate) encircled by the first girdle (S1a-girdle) directly attached on the microsphere (S1a) is visible; from the Pl-view, the microsphere and the first girdle look to be overlapped; and from the Sg-view, the body of the first girdle (girdle itself) is visible. Referred to Zhang & Suzuki (2017), Amphiaspisis the Lt-view of the two pseudo-concentric shells with G3-girdle and Zonariumis the Sg-view of the four concentric shells with the G2-girdle. The remaining genera have three pseudo-concentric shells but the different view under the absolute Cartesian coordinates. Amphipylura, Trizonium, Octopyluraand Tetrapylissaare the Pl-views. The former two genera have an incomplete G2-girdle whereas the latter two genera develop the complete G2-girdle. Pylonura, Larnacantha, Zoniscusand Zonidium( Haeckel 1887: pl. 50, fig. 12) have also the Pl-view. The first one has an incomplete G3-girdle and the remaining three genera have the complete G3-girdle. Tetrapyle, Dizonitisand Schizommaare the Sg-view. The first two genera have the complete G1-girdle and the last genus has an incomplete G2-girdle. In consideration of the specimen’s orientations and their growth stages, the type-illustrations of these genera are derived from several limited species within the same genus. The oldest available name among them is Tetrapyle. Amphiaspisis possible to be regarded as a collective name for the Zonariidaefor practical usage. Phylogenetic Molecular Lineage indet.
REMARKS In contrast to the clear results for the subdivision of Lineages in Sandin et al.(2021), it was nearly impossible to clearly define the morphological “commonalities” in each Lineage. This is due to the fact that the superfamilies and families categorized here cannot be classified into known Lineages.
