EMENDED DESCRIPTION: Coccosphere monomorphic and monothecate bearing triradiate or triangular nannoliths. The base of the nannolith is formed of three rays, which bifurcate in some species. A distally directed process is present in the centre of the nannolith in most species, with a triradiate calyx in some species.
TYPE SPECIES: Ericiolus spiculiger H.A. Thomsen in Thomsen et al. (1995).
REMARKS: All known species form small monomorphic coccospheres (2–7 µ m) consisting of numerous very small (<1.3 µ m) nannoliths.All polar species are known to be motile with two flagella and a well-developed haptonema; equivalent observations are not available for the subtropical LPZ species.
