- Diadumenidae Stephenson, T.A. 1920. On the classification of Actiniaria. Part I. Forms with acontia and forms with a mesogloeal sphincter. Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science 2 64(256): 425-574 [520].
Type genus:
Diadumene Stephenson, 1920.
Diagnosis
Thenaria (Acontiaria) whose acontia are provided with basitrichs and microbasic p-mastigophores. No distinct sphincter. Some or all of the inner tentacles typically forming catch-tentacles provided with atrichs and holotrichs; but sometimes apparently these special nematocysts are lacking in individuals of a species which does possess them.
