Strophomenata is an extinct class of brachiopods in the subphylum Rhynchonelliformea.
Orders
Billingsellida
An order that contains the suborder Clitambonitidina (and others?) .
Orthotetida
An order or superfamily that includes the Chilidiopsoidea.[1] Ontogeny given by Bassett and Popov (2017), resembling that of Kutorginides.[1]
Believed to be sister to Strophomenides, = Strophoomenida + Billinsellida + Productida.[2]
Includes the Chileids (e.g. Coolinia).
