英文摘要 | The protomonaxonid sponges are a controversial early group with supposed ties to the demosponges, but the group also possesses features that imply a much earlier-branching position in sponge evolution. A new species, Choiaella hexactinophora sp. nov., shows a typical protomonaxonid body plan but also contains small hexactin-based spicules, a skeletal element today restricted to the class Hexactinellida, but which has been proposed to be plesiomorphic for Porifera and lost in the other living classes. This finding from the Castle Bank fauna (Middle Ordovician of the Builth Inlier, Wales, UK) confirms continuity of the protomonaxonid lineage, as hexactins are also known from fossils interpreted to be among the earliest members of the group. The presence of hexactins effectively rules out a demosponge affinity, and supports previous interpretations requiring the protomonaxonids to be treated as an earlybranching sponge clade rather than assigning them to an extant class. To facilitate this, this paper proposes a formal replacement of the majority of the group as the Ascospongiae nov., an extinct class within Porifera. |
