INCLUDED GENERA. — Larnacilla Haeckel, 1887: 617 (= Larnacalpis n. syn.). — Phorticium Haeckel, 1882: 464 (= Phortopyle with the same type species). — Qiuripylolena Zhang & Suzuki, 2017: 52. — Sphaerolarnacillium Zhang & Suzuki, 2017: 47.

NOMINA DUBIA. — Amphibrachella, Amphibrachidium, Amphibrachoma, Amphibrachura, Druppulissa, Larnacospongus, Larnacidium, Larnacoma, Larnacostupa, Phortolarcus.

DIAGNOSIS. — The skeleton consists of several systems of phorticiidtype structures. Protoplasm was only reported for Sphaeropylolena. A red endoplasm occupies the inner part of the shell, which is enclosed by a reddish-brown endoplasm. The outermost part of the skeleton outcrops from the endoplasm. Pseudopodia radiate throughout the endoplasm and an axoflagellum is sometimes observable. Isolated skeleton fragments are scattered throughout the endoplasm in bundles of pseudopodia. The pseudopodia seem to be immobile and are strongly cohesive. No algal symbionts are observed.

STRATIGRAPHIC OCCURRENCE. — late Middle Eocene-Living.

REMARKS

This family was previously called Larnacillidae. However, Phorticiidae is the oldest senior synonym of Larnacillidae. Phorticiidae has been employed as family name in several Chinese monographs (see synonymy), hence the unfeasible use of Larnacillidae as a valid name.Internal skeletal structures for Larnacilla (Dumitrica 1989: pl. 11, figs 1-7), Qiuripylolena (Sugiyama et al. 1992: pl. 10, figs 1-5), Phorticium (Sugiyama et al. 1992: pl. 10, figs 8, 9; van de Paverd 1995: pl. 58, fig. 2) and Sphaerolarnacillium (Nakaseko & Nishimura 1982: pl. 27, fig. 5; Sugiyama et al. 1992: pl. 11, figs 2-8) were illustrated. Illustrations of living specimens and protoplasm images were published for Sphaeropylolena (KrabberØd et al., 2011: figs 1.N; Suzuki N. et al. 2013: figs 3.1-3.9, 4.1-4.9, 7.1; Matsuoka et al. 2017: appendix A).

VALIDITY OF GENERA

Larnacilla

Difference between Larnacilla and Larnacalpis is a single medullary shell in the former and a double medullary shell in the latter (Campbell 1954: D96). This difference is considered to be caused by preservation effects. As both these genera were simultaneously published, the available genus in the earlier page Larnacilla is validated herein (Haeckel 1887: 617 for Larnacilla and 620 for Larnacalpis).
