Gymnolaemata - Cheilostomata - Arachnopusiidae

Taxonomy
Quasitrilaminopora was named by Gordon and Taylor (2015) [Colony encrusting, unilamellar. Autozooidal frontal shield comprising an imperforate interior-wall layer overarching an anascan opesia surrounded by a narrow granular-tubercular cryptocyst; anterior edge of frontal shield irregularly lobate, sometimes with 1-2 small foramina between the fused lobes. Oral-spine bases present. An adventitious avicularium borne frontally at the proximal end of many zooids. Ooecium hyperstomial with smooth outer ectooecium peripherally encroached by secondary calcification. Basal pore-chambers present. ].

It was assigned to Arachnopusiidae by Gordon and Taylor (2015).
