Abstract
Euplectellidae Gray (Hexactinellida, Lyssacinosida) is revised to contain 27 genera in three subfamilies: Euplectellinae (with seven genera: Euplectella, Acoelocalyx, Chaunangium, Docosaccus, Holascus, Malacosaccus and Placopegma), Corbitellinae (12 genera: Corbitella, Atlantisella gen. nov., Dictyaulus, Dictyocalyx, Hertwigia, Heterotella, Ijimaiella gen. nov., Pseudoplectella, Regadrella, Rhabdopectella, Symplectella and Walteria) and Bolosominae subfam. nov. (eight genera: Bolosoma, Amphidiscella, Neocaledoniella, Caulocalyx, Hyalostylus, Saccocalyx, Trachycaulus and Vityaziella). Several of these genera were transferred from other hexactinellid lyssacinosan families: Symplectella (previously in Rossellidae), Placopegma, Chaunangium and Caulocalyx (all previously in Leucopsacidae).
