Type species: Glauconome disticha Goldfuss, 1831
| Synonyms | Author | Type Species |
|---|---|---|
| Glauconome | Goldfuss, 1829 (not Gray, 1828, Mollusca) | Glauconome disticha Goldfuss, 1831 |
| Glauconomella | Bassler, 1952 | Glauconome disticha Goldfuss, 1831 |
Confusion about the validity of Arcanopora has been the result of an invalid selection of the type species as Flustra parallela (see Buttler 1991) so that Arcanopora was considered the objective synonym of Sulcoretepora. See also Snell, 2004.
The genus Glauconome has a convoluted usage. Many of the Late Paleozoic species are reassigned to Penniretepora. Some of the Cretaceous and Cenozoic fossils originally referred to Glauconome are species of Virgocella or Vincularia.
This genus includes the species:
| Arcanopora disticha | (Goldfuss, 1831) | Ordovician - Devonian | Germany, England, Wales, Sweden |
| Arcanopora plumula | (Wiman, 1902) | Ordovician | Sweden, Germany |
| Arcanopora? wimani | Spjeldnaes, 1984 | Ordovician | Sweden |
