Abstract
The best introduction to this subject, replete with a synoptic tabulation of the major classifications proposed in the past and a discussion in historical perspective, has been presented by Lévi (1956 a, 1973). A review of older classifications was presented by Vosmaer (1882–6, p. 200–249). Lendenfeld (1903) provided lists of synonyms for all taxa of the Tetractinellida, which are useful for bibliographic references.
