Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. Kozur and H. Mostler 1978 (Euchitoniidae)From a partly tiny and externally not always visible central disc, 2-6 sometimes split arms radiate out, some of which are terminally studded with spines. A patagium can be formed between the arms. At least the central disk, but mostly also the arms, are chambered concentrically or interrupted concentrically (arms), with a simple central chamber in the center of the central disk. At least the central area of ​​the skeletons, but mostly the whole skeleton including the patagium, are covered with porous sieve plates.
