Remarks. The Calanticidae includes 10 extant and five extinct genera (Newman 1996, Jones 1998, Young 2003), the most generalized of which, Scillaelepas, was known from the fossil record (Seguenza, 1876) before a living representative was discovered in the deep-sea (Aurivillius, 1894). As will be seen below, the calanticid reported upon herein belongs to Calantica, a genus that has diverged little from the stem form.
