If no rank is listed, the taxon is considered an unranked clade in modern classifications. Ranks may be repeated or presented in the wrong order because authors working on different parts of the classification may disagree about how to rank taxa.

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. R. Palmer and L. N. Repina 1993Olenellidae with glabella usually strongly constricted at SI or L2; transverse width of anterior part of Li usually distinctly narrower than occipital ring; glabellar furrows generally well developed. Preglabellar field shorter than border or absent. Posterior tips of ocular lobes oppo- site or anterior to Ll. Third thoracic segment with inner part of pleural region strongly expanded distally; pleural spine may be extended posterior to end of thorax. Opisthothorax well developed. Pygidium not known.
B. S. Lieberman 1999Bristoliinae is redefined as a

monophyletic subfamily that includes only the genera Fremontella, Lochmanolenellus and Bristolia. This subfamily can be defined by the possession of the following diagnostic char- acters (thoracic characters only found in a few species of Bristolia, the only members of the subfamily for which thoracic remains exist): 1. anterior cephalic border developed as an el- evated ridge, and prominently separated from extraocular area by furrow; 2. anterolateral margins of frontal lobe not prominently separated from anterior extraocular area by furrow (not anterior border furrow); 3. prominent parafrontal band not visible in dorsal view; 4. anterolateral margins of frontal lobe at each side of midline deflected posteriorly at roughly 10 degree angle relative to transverse line; 5. S3 same depth laterally as medially; 6. an- terodistal margins of L3 formed by ocular lobes; 7. surface of interocular area slopes evenly from tip of ocular lobe to glabella; 8. genal spine angle developed opposite S0 or position anterior of S0; 9. posterior edge of ocular lobe developed anterior of or opposite medial part of distal margin of L1; 10. lateral lobes absent from L0; 11. distal sector of S0 transverse; 12. intergenal angle relative to transverse line directed anteriorly at least 35 degrees; 13. T3 macropleural, pleural spine of T3 projects further posteriorly than length of entire protho- rax; 14. anterior margin of thoracic pleural furrow on T3, when proceeding from proximal to distal edge, parallels a transverse line before flexing strongly posteriorly; 15. posterior margin of thoracic pleural furrow on T3 with medial part directed strongly posteriorly, dis- tal part parallel to a transverse line or weakly flexing anterolaterally; 16. thoracic pleural spines on segments 5 to 8 developed as short projections extending two thoracic segments back; 17. sharp boundary between thoracic pleural furrow and anterior band; 18. prominent spine present on 15th thoracic axial ring.
