A new classification of the class Astrorhizata (Foraminifera)

V.I. Mikhalevich

Abstract. A new classification of Astrorhizata Saidova, 1981 is proposed. It is based mainly on the plan of the structure of the organism reflected in its test building, with consideration of the wall structure as of essential but secondary importance in classification. The class includes 5 orders (Astrorhizata, Dendrofryida, Saccamminida, Parathuramminida, and Hippocrepinida), 2 suborders, 7 superfamilies, 35 families, 38 subfamilies and 192 genera, among them families Normaninidae and Lacustrinellidae, subfamilies Amphifenestrellinae, Causiinae, Tholosininae, Daitroninae, Saccamminidinae, Amphicervicinae, Eoammosphaeroidinae, Hemithurammininae, Jaculellinae, and Saccorhininae are new. The subfamilies Vanhoeffenellinae, Astrorhizinae, Rhabdammininae, Dendrophryinae, Psammosphaerinae, Saccammininae, Hemisphaerammininae, Crithioninae, Hyperammininae, and Hippocrepininae undergo considerable revision, taxonomic position of 1 order, 6 families, 6 subfamilies and 28 genera and rank of some taxa was changed. The diagnoses and composition of all suprageneric taxa are given.
