Finally, I have merged the Adeonellidae and the Adeonidae. The debate about the separation of the Adeonellidae from the Adeonidae is based upon the significance of the way in which the frontal wall of the zooid develops. The exterior morphology of zooids and the colony form are similar in the members of this group.
