The classificatory structure and content of orders (and of
superorders or subclasses) do not differ statistically among the modern classifications.
Superorder Atelostomata Order Cassiduloida Family Echinolampadidae Genus Echinolampas GRAY, 1825 Echinolampas cfr.
Centric fusions are particularly common in Batoidea (stingrays, guitarfish, and skates), the most derived
superorder of elasmobranchs [31].
andits taxonomic classification was presented as follow: phylum of Angiospermae, class of Equisetopsida, subclass of Magnoliophyta,,
superorder of Asteranea, order of Lamiales, family of Orobanchaceae and the genus of Rhamphicarpa.
The Order Cingulata, which is included in the
superorder Xenarthra with Pilosa, is also predominantly Neotropical.
Superorder Xenarthra Cope, 1889 Order Tardigrada Latham y Davies en Forster, 1795 Familia Megatheriidae Gray, 1821 Genero Megatherium Cuvier, 1796 Megatherium cf.
variolaris is the only living species in the family Stomopneustidae, order Phymosomatoida, within the
superorder Stirodonta along with arbacioid and salenioid echinoids (e.g., Smith 2005; Smith et al., 2006).
Using the same pair of primers, we determined the mtDNA D-loop sequences of animal species from three of the four
superorders in the infraclass Placentalia: Xenarthra (lesser anteater), Euarchontoglires (capuchin monkey, common marmoset and mouse) and Laurasiatheria (canids, cat, cattle, horse, raccoon, bats and tayra); the only
superorder not represented here is the Afrotheria.
Additions to the checklist of rotifers of the
Superorder Monogononta recorded from Neotropis.
Boletzky (1999) indicated that they should be subject to four orders, and the
Superorder Decabrachia included 5 orders, Spirulida, Sepiida, Sepiolida, Idiosepiida, and Teuthida (see Fig.
Almost a third of the major groupings, or orders, of mammals actually can be lumped into a
superorder called Afrotheria, says Wilfried W.
Because the Eutheria and Metatheria are both represented by an array of taxa that do not reflect higher order branching (i.e., none of the species in the sample shares close relation to another species in the sample) and that cover the diversity within the
superorder fairly broadly (i.e., the families and orders represented are among the basal radiations of the groups), it is reasonably likely that the patterns that emerge are representative of marsupials and placentals.
