Definition (amend.): A naked pedunculate­like form resembling a heteralepadid but without indications of apertural modifications such as crenulations or protuberance lips (A thickened “collar” or attachment disk can be present in other heteralepadomorphs and therefore this character is not included in the proposed definition). Type, † Priscansermarinus Collins & Rudkin, 1981:1007 ( Fig. 1 A herein).
