WRIGHT et al., 2017, Phylogenetic taxonomy and classification of the Crinoidea (Echinodermata)

A major goal of biological classification is to provide a system that conveys phylogenetic relationships while facilitating lucid communication among researchers. Phylogenetic taxonomy is a useful framework for defining clades and delineating their taxonomic content based on well-supported phylogenetic hypotheses. The Crinoidea (Echinodermata) is one of the five major clades of living echinoderms and has a rich fossil record spanning nearly a half billion years. Using principles of phylogenetic taxonomy and recent phylogenetic analyses, we provide the first phylogeny-based definition for the Clade Crinoidea and its constituent subclades. A series of stem- and node-based definitions are provided for all major taxa traditionally recognized within the Crinoidea, including the Camerata, Disparida, Hybocrinida, Cladida, Flexibilia, and the Articulata. Following recommendations proposed in recent revisions, we recognize several new clades, including the Eucamerata Cole (this issue), Porocrinoidea Wright (this issue), and Eucladida Wright (this issue). In addition, recent phylogenetic analyses support the resurrection of two names previously abandoned in the crinoid taxonomic literature: the Pentacrinoidea Jaekel, 1918 and Inadunata Wachsmuth and Springer, 1885. Lastly, a phylogenetic perspective is used to inform a comprehensive revision of the traditional rank-based classification. Although an attempt was made to minimize changes to the rank-based system, numerous changes were necessary in some cases to achieve monophyly. These phylogeny-based classifications provide a useful template for paleontologists, biologists, and non-experts alike to better explore evolutionary patterns and processes with fossil and living crinoids.

Phylogenetic taxonomy is a useful framework for deﬁning clades and delineating their taxonomic content according to well-supported phylogenetic hypotheses. The Crinoidea (Echinodermata) is one of the ﬁve major clades of living echinoderms and has a rich fossil record spanning nearly a half billion years. Using principles of phylogenetic taxonomy and recent phylogenetic analyses, we provide the ﬁrst phylogeny-based deﬁnition for the Clade Crinoidea and its constituent subclades. A series of stem- and node-based deﬁnitions are provided for all major taxa traditionally recognized within the Crinoidea, including the Camerata, Disparida, Hybocrinida, Cladida, Flexibilia, and Articulata. Following recommendations proposed in recent revisions, we recognize several new clades, including the Eucamerata Cole 2017, Porocrinoidea Wright 2017, and Eucladida Wright 2017. In addition, recent phylogenetic analyses support the resurrection of two names previously abandoned in the crinoid taxonomic literature: the Pentacrinoidea Jaekel, 1918 and Inadunata Wachsmuth and Springer, 1885. Last, a phylogenetic perspective is used to inform a comprehensive revision of the traditional rank-based classiﬁcation. Although an attempt was made to minimize changes to the rank-based system, numerous changes were necessary in some cases to achieve monophyly. These phylogeny-based classiﬁcations provide a useful template for paleontologists, biologists, and non-experts alike to better explore evolutionary patterns and processes with fossil and living crinoids. Given their general signiﬁcance and broad scientiﬁc utility across multiple disciplines of inquiry, it is paramount that the biological classiﬁcation of crinoids reﬂects their evolutionary heritage. Numerous emendations and informal suggestions for major taxonomic revisions have been opined over the past few decades (e.g., Kelly, 1986; Simms and Sevastopulo, 1993; Ausich, 1998a, 1998b; Webster and Jell, 1999; Hess and Messing, 2011), but the most recent comprehensive revision to crinoid classiﬁcation is the 1978 Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Moore and Teichert, 1978). Since publication of the Treatise, the value of revising rank-based systematic classiﬁcations to be consistent with phylogenetic hypotheses and/or the explicit use of phylogenetic taxonomy (sensu de Quieroz and Gauthier, 1990; Sereno, 1999, 2005) has become increasingly common in paleontology (e.g., Smith, 1984, 1994; Holtz, 1996, 1998; Sereno, 1997; Padian et al., 1999; Brochu and Sumrall, 2001; Carlson, 2001; Carlson and Leighton, 2001; Brochu, 2003; Forey et al., 2004; Sereno et al., 2005; Butler et al., 2008; Kelley et al., 2013). We agree with these authors that all named taxa in a biological classiﬁcation system should ideally represent clades (i.e., monophyletic groups). The development of phylogeny-based classiﬁcations is not without difﬁculties or criticism (e.g., Benton, 2000, 2007). However, we advocate that recent advances in understanding the phylogenetic relationships of major crinoid lineages make the biological classiﬁcation of the Crinoidea ripe for revision. A great strength of so-called ‘phylogenetic taxonomy’ is its potential for increasing nomenclatural stability (de Quieroz and Introduction Crinoids are a diverse, long-lived clade of echinoderms with a fossil record spanning nearly half a billion years and are represented by more than 600 species living in marine ecosystems today (Hess et al., 1999). The geologic history of crinoids is revealed through a highly complete, well-sampled fossil record (Foote and Raup, 1996; Foote and Sepkoski, 1999) displaying a complex pageant of evolutionary radiation, extinction, ecologic innovation, and morphologic diversiﬁcation (Ausich and Bottjer, 1982; Ausich et al., 1994; Foote, 1999; Peters and Ausich, 2008; Deline and Ausich, 2011; Gorzelak et al., 2015). The spectacular fossil record of crinoids is greatly enriched and complemented by detailed biologic studies on living species. These studies facilitate opportunities to synthesize information from fossil and extant forms. For example, comparative studies between fossil and living crinoid species have provided insight into species ecology and niche dynamics (Meyer and Macurda, 1977; Ausich, 1980; Roux, 1987; Kitazawa et al., 2007; Baumiller, 2008), established developmental bases for morphologic homologies (Shibata et al., 2015a), and informed phylogenetic hypotheses (Simms and Sevastopulo, 1993; Rouse et al., 2013). Thus, crinoids form a data-rich model system for exploring major questions in the history of life. * Present address: Department of Paleobiology, National Museum of Natural History, The Smithsonian Institution, P.O.

Under a phylogeny-based system of classiﬁcation, groups of taxa are organized by their patterns of shared common ancestry rather than diagnostic traits. This is a particularly useful aspect of phylogenetic taxonomy: if named evolutionary units are deﬁned by their history of common ancestry, they do not change if new information comes to light that necessitates modiﬁcation of taxonomic diagnoses. For example, new fossil discoveries and/ or more nuanced understandings of phylogenetic relationships may alter the distribution of synapomorphies among members of a clade but do not alter the deﬁnition of the clade. Moreover, by naming taxa on the basis of cladogram topologies, phylogenetic taxonomy can provide a precise deﬁnition for groups previously difﬁcult to diagnose by a unique combination of synapomorphies, such as the Articulata (Simms, 1988; Webster and Jell, 1999; Rouse et al., 2013). To avoid potential instability in taxonomic nomenclature and/or the proliferation of clade names, we advocate that major changes in crinoid systematics should: (1) be based on well-supported phylogenetic hypotheses inferred using rigorous and repeatable quantitative techniques, and (2) employ widely used names and/or names with historical precedence if available. In this paper, we propose a series of stem-based and nodebased clade deﬁnitions to help standardize nomenclature for crinoid higher taxa. The clade deﬁnitions proposed herein are informed by a series of recent phylogenetic analyses (Ausich et al., 2015; Cole, 2017; Wright, 2017) and represent the ﬁrst attempt to classify crinoids using the principles of phylogenetic taxonomy (de Queiroz and Gauthier, 1992, 1994). Although Linnaean classiﬁcations lack rigorous criteria for assigning ranks, they can nevertheless provide useful (if coarse) reﬂections of phylogenetic relatedness and divergence among taxa, particularly in paleontology (Smith, 1984; Potter and Freudenstein, 2005; Jablonski and Finarelli, 2009; Soul and Friedman, 2015). Given the widespread use of rank-based classiﬁcations among invertebrate paleontologists in both alpha taxonomy and paleobiological studies, it is prudent to present a phylogenetically informed revision of the rank-based classiﬁcation of the Crinoidea. These revisions modify the existing Linnaean classiﬁcation of crinoids to better represent the set of nested hierarchies implied by phylogenetic trees (Ausich et al., 2015; Cole, 2017; Wright, 2017). In their review of progress made in crinoid research during the twentieth century, Ausich and Kammer (2001, p. 1167) stated the “immediate challenge for the [twenty-ﬁrst century] study of crinoids is to establish a phylogenetic classiﬁcation for the entire class.” It is our hope that the dual classiﬁcation systems presented herein will provide a foundation for future studies employing phylogenetic nomenclature in crinoid research and promote the use of an improved classiﬁcation system among researchers who choose to work with the Linnaean system. The dredge and the hammer: a brief history of crinoid classiﬁcation The whole history of the attempts to classify the Crinoidea shows … the gradual emancipation from the older habit of lumping forms together because they are alike in structure without considering how the likeness arose. –F.A. Bather (1898, p. 339) Formal scientiﬁc description and classiﬁcation of crinoids began in 1821 when J.S. Miller recognized fossilized stalked echinoderms from the “environs of Bristol” as a distinct group. Although he did not include comatulids in his original conception of the Crinoidea, he anticipated that they were crinoids: “The combination of these results with those from the Crinoidea made me anxious to examine the Comatulae … an animal which would be deﬁned with sufﬁcient precision as a Pentacrinus destitute of the column” (Miller, 1821, p. 127). Further, he judged Marsupites ornatus Miller, 1821 (an unstalked crinoid of Cretaceous age) to be the ‘link’ between comatulids and his Crinoidea (Miller, 1821, p. 139). Extant stalked crinoids were unknown until the mid- to late 1860s, when their discovery during oceanic dredging expeditions provided fodder for early debates regarding the efﬁcacy of Darwin’s (1859) then recently proposed theory of natural selection (see Alaniz, 2014; Etter and Hess, 2015). Thus, the original description, deﬁnition, and diagnosis of the Crinoidea relied entirely on fossil remains. Despite the morphological diversity and deep phylogenetic divergences among groups of extant species, the inclusion of living crinoids with fossil forms has not fundamentally altered Miller’s (1821) concept. Following subsequent inclusion of the comatulids and extant stalked crinoids with fossil forms, the Crinoidea has withstood nearly 200 years of scrutiny as a distinct group within the Echinodermata. In contrast with their long-term recognition as a clade, the classiﬁcation of taxa within the Crinoidea has been widely debated since the nineteenth century (Müller, 1841; Angelin, 1878; Wachsmuth and Springer, 1897; Bather, 1899; Springer, 1913; Jaekel, 1918). With few exceptions, debates on crinoid classiﬁcation have primarily been based on disagreements over phylogenetic afﬁnities among taxa rather than systematic practices among researchers (see Bather, 1899 for a counter example). The intensity of early debates over crinoid classiﬁcation is best epitomized by the frequent yet acrimonious exchanges between Wachsmuth and Springer (e.g., 1885, 1891, 1897) and Bather (e.g., 1898, 1899, 1900). Attempts to resolve these debates among nineteenth-century systematists have largely shaped the last ~70 years of crinoid research (Ausich and Kammer, 2001). In their seminal work Evolution and Classiﬁcation of Paleozoic Crinoids, Moore and Laudon (1943) presented a classiﬁcation that incorporated aspects of both Frank Springer’s and Francis Bather’s ideas (see discussion in Ausich and Kammer, 2001). With few modiﬁcations, Moore and Laudon’s (1943) publication formed the basis of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Moore and Teichert, 1978). Following publication of the 1978 Treatise, the classiﬁcation of crinoids entered a protracted yet frail era of nomenclatural stability. Although few authors have advanced major revisions or comprehensive modiﬁcations, many have voiced contention with the Treatise classiﬁcation (Kelly, 1982, 1986; Kolata, 1982; McIntosh, 1984, 1986, 2001; Ausich, 1986, 1998a, 1998b; Donovan, 1988; Simms, 1988; Simms and Sevastopulo, 1993; Brower, 1995; Webster and Jell, 1999; Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003; Hess and Messing, 2011; Guensburg, 2012; Downloaded from https:/www.cambridge.org/core.

With the exception of Simms and Sevastopulo (1993), these studies have been readjustments of the Moore and Teichert (1978) classiﬁcation to accommodate rank changes, the addition of new groups, and delineation of clade membership deﬁned by phylogenetic studies of extant species. The study of extant crinoids remains in the shadow of A. H. Clark, who published more than 100 publications on their morphology, taxonomy, and classiﬁcation during the early to middle twentieth century (e.g., Clark, 1915, 1921; Clark and Clark, 1967). The advent and application of molecular phylogenetic methods to crinoid phylogeny has recently thrown light on relationships among extant species (Cohen et al., 2004; Hemery et al., 2013; Rouse et al., 2013; Summers et al., 2014). However, these analyses also point toward the need for extensive taxonomic revisions and an improved understanding of morphologic traits among living species (Messing and White, 2001; David et al., 2006; Roux et al., 2013; Summers et al., 2014; Hays et al., 2015). Remarkably, there has been little previous work to combine molecular phylogenetic studies of extant crinoids with paleontologic data to assemble a more complete picture of post-Paleozoic crinoid evolutionary history. Efforts to integrate these rich sources of information present both challenges and opportunities for future researchers to resolve patterns and processes shaping the crinoid tree of life (Lee and Palci, 2015; Pyron, 2015). Crinoid origins and classiﬁcation Extant echinoderms include the Crinoidea, Echinoidea, Ophiuroidea, Asteroidea, and the Holothuroidea, with the latter four comprising the Eleutherozoa. Although it has been long established that crinoids form the sister group to the Eleutherozoa, the relationships among many fossil and extant echinoderm groups are controversial (Paul and Smith, 1984; Sumrall 1997; David et al., 2000; Smith, 2005; Pisani et al., 2012; Telford et al., 2014; Zamora and Rahman, 2014; Feuda and Smith, 2015; Reich et al., 2015). The phylogenetic position of crinoids within the Echinodermata was contested throughout the late twentieth century, with a focal question whether the Pelmatozoa (i.e., stalked echinoderms including blastozoans and crinoids) and/or the Blastozoa are monophyletic groups or a ‘grade’ of body plan organization. This is a fundamental question not only for understanding the origin of crinoids but also for resolving phylogenetic relationships among clades within the Echinodermata. One hypothesis of crinoid origins postulates that crinoids and blastozoan echinoderms independently evolved pelmatozoan-grade body plans (e.g., Sprinkle, 1973, 1976; Mooi and David, 1998, 2008; David et al., 2000; Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003; Guensburg, 2012). This hypothesis proposes that blastozoans and crinoids each comprise distinct monophyletic groups. By contrast, an alternative hypothesis postulates that blastozoans and crinoids are members of an inclusive pelmatozoan clade, with crinoids nested within a paraphyletic Blastozoa (Leuckart, 1848; Bather, 1899, 1900; Paul and Smith, 1984; Smith, 1984; Paul, 1988; Smith and Jell, 1990; Smith, 1994; Sumrall, 1997; Ausich, 1998a, 1998b; Clausen et al., 2009; Zamora and Smith, 2011; Kammer et al., 2013; O’Malley et al., 2016). In this hypothesis, the blastozoan 3 body plan represents a grade of organization within the more inclusive Pelmatozoa, a clade comprising all blastozoan-grade echinoderms and crinoids (including the crown group). Although the inclusive group of nominal ‘blastozoan’ taxa is not monophyletic, there are undoubtedly assemblages of blastozoan taxa that do correspond to monophyletic groups (Smith, 1984; Sumrall and Wray, 2007; Zamora and Smith, 2011; Sumrall and Waters, 2012; Zamora et al., 2016). Important to this debate are the differences among researchers with respect to their underlying taxonomic principles and systematic practices (see Smith, 1988). Those who support the monophyly of the Blastozoa and Crinoidea embrace systematic practices that emphasize differences (rather than similarities) among taxa, recognize plesiomorphic traits as taxonomically informative characters, exclude character data from consideration of relationships because of a priori beliefs regarding the distribution of homoplastic traits, and conﬂate sister group hypotheses with ancestor–descendant relationships (e.g., Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003, 2007; Guensburg, 2012; Guensburg et al., 2016). These practices differ considerably from those that infer the Pelmatozoa as a clade. These workers tend to emphasize similarities (rather than differences) among taxa, minimize a priori assumptions regarding hypotheses of character evolution, and utilize the principles of phylogenetic systematics to rigorously test whether apparent similarities in form reﬂect synapomorphies or homoplasy (e.g., Sumrall and Waters, 2012; Sumrall, 2014; Ausich et al., 2015). Given the recent advances in homology assessment among pentaradiate echinoderms (e.g., Sumrall, 1997, 2008, 2010, 2014; Sumrall and Waters, 2012; Kammer et al., 2013) and computational phylogenetic analyses of echinoderm taxa based on a large ensemble of characters, it is becoming increasingly clear that a blastozoan-grade taxon likely forms the closest immediate outgroup to the Crinoidea (Kammer et al., 2013; Sumrall, 2014). In the future, new developments in phylogenetic research along with a continued search for the oldest ‘crinoid’ fossils will continue to play a role in uncovering the sequence of morphologic transitions behind the assembly of the crinoid body plan. Despite desultory disagreements regarding crinoid origins (Sprinkle, 1973; Ubaghs, 1978; Donovan, 1988; Ausich, 1998a, 1998b; Ausich and Babcock, 1998; Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2007, 2009; Guensburg, 2012; Kammer et al., 2013; Ausich et al., 2015; Guensburg et al., 2016), there is nevertheless considerable agreement among workers regarding the pattern of branching relationships within the crinoid ingroup. For example, the recent phylogenetic analyses of Guensburg (2012) and Ausich et al. (2015) reveal highly congruent patterns of branching relationships among crinoid higher taxa despite the use of alternative outgroups, different data sets, and alternative interpretations of homologous morphologic characters. We surmise this growing consensus stems from the improved taxonomic sampling of the oldest known crinoids (Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003, 2009; Guensburg, 2010) and implementation of more rigorous quantitative approaches to testing phylogenetic hypotheses (Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015; Cole, 2017; Wright, 2017). We conclude that congruence observed among tree topologies obtained from researchers with different perspectives indicates strong support for these patterns.

Toward a phylogenetic classiﬁcation of the Crinoidea From the perspective of their geologic history, crinoids are a bottom-heavy clade (Gould et al., 1987). In contrast to the tremendously diverse assemblage of stem lineages, comparatively few species are encompassed within the crown group (Fig. 1). Because of the enormous diversity of the stem group relative to the crown group, fossil crinoids have received much systematic attention compared to their extant representatives (but see Clark, 1915; David et al., 2006; Hess and Messing, 2011; Hemery et al., 2013; Rouse et al., 2013). Aside from a number of smaller studies examining relationships among species of middle to late Paleozoic genera (e.g., Gahn and Kammer, 2002; Kammer and Gahn, 2003; Ausich and Kammer, 2008), most investigations of crinoid phylogeny have focused on discerning relationships among Ordovician taxa (Brower, 1995; Ausich 1998b; Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015; Cole, 2017). The Ordovician Period represents a key interval in crinoid evolution because species belonging to various groups of traditionally named taxa ﬁrst appear in rocks of the Lower Ordovician (Tremadocian) (Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003, 2009; Guensburg, 2010) and the majority of well-studied groups had originated prior to its close. The divergence between camerate and non-camerate lineages forms a fundamental, early split in the history of crinoid evolution (Jaekel, 1918; Donovan, 1988; Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015; Cole, 2017; Wright, 2017) (Fig. 1). For example, in the recent phylogeny of Ausich et al. (2015), taxa belonging to the Camerata (sensu Moore and Teichert, 1978) form the sister clade to all other crinoids, including the protocrinoids (Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003). Disparids were recovered as sister to a clade comprised of most ‘cladid’ taxa, and hybocrinids were recovered as sister to a group of ‘cyathocrine’ cladids (sensu Moore and Teichert, 1978). A similar pattern was recovered by Guensburg (2012, ﬁg. 2). Building on these studies, Cole (2017) further assessed the basal split between camerates and non-camerates and tested the taxonomic status of the Monobathrida and Diplobathrida (Fig. 1). Wright’s (2017) analysis of relationships among noncamerate crinoids offers a more nuanced perspective of this portion of the crinoid tree than previously recovered. Notably, many so-called Ordovician clades of Guensburg (2012) and Ausich et al. (2015) do not retain their status of monophyly when post-Ordovician taxa are considered (Wright, 2017). Recent molecular phylogenetic studies indicate broad relationships among major clades of extant crinoids are also reaching a consensus, with the Isocrinida representing the sister clade to all other extant crinoids (Rouse et al., 2013, 2015). It is interesting to note that divergence time estimation based on relaxed molecular clock models suggests the split between isocrinids and other extant groups took place some 231–252 million years ago (Rouse et al., 2013). Thus, molecular phylogenetic analyses and paleontological evidence are in general agreement regarding an ancient origin of the crinoid crown group. A summary tree based on results presented by Rouse et al. (2013), Ausich et al. (2015), Wright (2017), and Cole (2017) is depicted in the form of a simpliﬁed cladogram in Figure 2. This cladogram is annotated with the clade names we propose below. Terminal taxa in the cladogram were carefully chosen to maximize stability in phylogenetic nomenclature (Table 1). Sereno (2005) listed numerous criteria for choosing taxon speciﬁers in clade deﬁnitions. These recommendations include choosing speciﬁers that are nested rather than basal (if possible), represented by well-known or readily available material, and using multiple speciﬁers where necessary to accommodate phylogenetic uncertainty and/or alternative hypotheses. We have carefully chosen our clade deﬁnitions to not hinge on labile phylogenetic hypotheses or speciﬁc interpretations of unusual and/or problematic taxa. Classes of clade deﬁnitions used in phylogenetic taxonomy and their graphical representations used herein closely follow Sereno (1999, 2005). Node-based clade deﬁnitions circumscribe the most recent common ancestor of at least two taxa and all of its descendants. Thus, node-based deﬁnitions form the least inclusive clade containing a minimum of two speciﬁers. By contrast, stem-based deﬁnitions circumscribe the most inclusive clade containing at least one internal speciﬁer. In both cases, additional precision is obtained by identifying external speciﬁers falling outside the clade (i.e., the outgroup). For example, a stembased deﬁnition for hypothetical Clade A with two internal and one external taxon speciﬁers can be stated as ‘all species sharing a more recent common ancestor with species X and Y than Z,’ where X and Y are internal taxon speciﬁers and Z is an external speciﬁer. In other words, Clade A is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing X and Y but not Z. Note the presence of one species as an external speciﬁer effectively eliminates the entire clade to which it belongs. By deﬁnition, a clade cannot contain an ancestor of its sister group. In phylogenetic taxonomy, clade membership is not determined by the presence or absence of a ‘key’ morphologic feature unless that apomorphy (or set of apomorphies) is listed in the deﬁnition as a qualifying clause (Sereno, 2005). We avoid apomorphic qualiﬁers in our deﬁnitions for several reasons. First, incomplete preservation may lead to cases where it is unknown whether a fossil species has the key feature diagnostic of the clade in question. Thus, the inclusion or exclusion of a fossil species depends on character state optimizations rather than direct data. Second, a trait may be ‘absent’ in a taxon either because it was truly absent or because it was secondarily lost. Similarly, a trait may be ‘present’ because of convergent Figure 1.

Moreover, stem group taxa commonly have highly heterogeneous distributions of apomorphic traits, which may lead to instability when new taxa are sampled and/or alternative topologies are equally likely. Finally, the timing of a divergence event may not correspond with the acquisition of a diagnostic apomorphy. For example, the blastozoan Macrocystella is widely recognized as a basal glyptocystitoid rhombiferan even though it lacks the respiratory structures traditionally ‘diagnostic’ of the Glyptocystida (Paul, 1968; Sprinkle, 1973; Zamora et al., 2016). All of these considerations are highly important when considering patterns of character evolution but may lead to nomenclatural instability if incorporated into clade deﬁnitions. Although we avoid the use of apomorphies to deﬁne clades, we do discuss morphological traits potentially useful for taxonomic diagnoses. In some cases, our proposed clade deﬁnitions retain much of their traditional meaning and taxonomic content, with constituent taxa sharing numerous synapomorphies that form unambiguous taxonomic boundaries (e.g., the Flexibilia). However, in other cases, either substantial revision was necessary and/or a list of unambiguous diagnostic characters was difﬁcult or impossible to obtain (e.g., the Articulata). These challenges highlight the utility of phylogenetic taxonomy. For example, many authors have remarked that the Articulata has lacked a concise, unambiguous deﬁnition since it was ﬁrst erected by Miller nearly 200 years ago (Simms, 1988; Webster and Jell, 1999; Hess and Messing, 2011; Rouse et al., 2013). A phylogenetic deﬁnition of the Articulata provides a clearer criterion for clade membership and results in a framework for future phylogenetic research assessing relationships among hypothesized stem clades, crown group synapomorphies, and subsequent morphologic transitions among crown group subclades. The clade deﬁnitions and revised classiﬁcation proposed herein represent the present state of knowledge, but systematics is a dynamic science and taxonomic theories are commonly reinterpreted in light of new discoveries. We fully expect our deﬁnitions to be reﬁned and/or modiﬁed as more information becomes available. Some places of the crinoid tree still require extensive taxonomic revisions, such as upper Paleozoic ‘cladids’ (sensu Moore and Laudon, 1943) and stem articulates (Wright, 2015b). Despite these potential vicissitudes in the taxonomic content and/or deﬁnitions within our proposed classiﬁcation, we agree with G.G. Simpson’s sentiment: “It is pusillanimous to avoid making our best efforts today because they may appear inadequate tomorrow” (1944, p. xxx [sic]). Systematic paleontology Crinoidea Miller, 1821 Deﬁnition.—The Crinoidea is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing Rhodocrinites verus Miller, 1821, Actinocrinites triacontadactylus Miller, 1821, and Pentacrinites fossilis Blumenbach, 1804 but not Rhopalocystis detombesi Ubaghs, 1963, Echinosphaerites aurantium (Gyllenhaal, 1772), Eumorphocystis multiporate Branson and Peck, 1940, Protocrinites ouiformis Eichwald, 1840, Cheirocystis antiqua Paul, 1972, Glyptocystella loeblichi (Bassler, 1943), Cambraster cannati Miquel, 1894, and Cambroblastus enubilatus Smith and Jell, 1990. Remarks.—This deﬁnition captures J. S. Miller’s (1821) original concept based on fossil specimens and retains the name ‘Crinoidea’ as the clade comprising the crown group plus all extinct species sharing a more recent common ancestor with a living crinoid than any echinoderm taxon listed in the preceding as external speciﬁers (Fig. 2). Further, this deﬁnition closely resembles the traditional use and taxonomic content of the Crinoidea as used by both biologists and paleontologists (Bather, 1899; Clark, 1915; Jaekel, 1918; Moore and Teichert, 1978; Hess et al., 1999; Rouse et al., 2013) and accommodates the current state of uncertainty regarding their nearest extinct sister group. In the interest of preserving the taxonomic content and common meaning of a widely used name, our Clade Crinoidea is preferred over Sumrall’s (1997) similarly deﬁned Crinoidoformes (see Cantino and de Queiroz, 2010, p. 42). The Crinoidea is comprised of two major clades, the Camerata and the Pentacrinoidea, reﬂecting the early divergence between camerate and non-camerate crinoids (Jaekel, 1918; Donovan, 1988; Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015). Because we provide the Crinoidea with a stem-based deﬁnition, the discovery of stemward fossils is accommodated within this deﬁnition. Internal taxon speciﬁers were chosen because they were included in Miller’s (1821) original description and represent well-known, well-preserved, and highly nested members of their respective subclades. In contrast to the internal taxon speciﬁers, the choice of external speciﬁers is more complex. The use of external speciﬁers in this deﬁnition spanning various ‘blastozoan’ and edrioasteroid-grade groups reﬂects the current difﬁculty involved in postulating the nearest deﬁnitive sister group as well as the uncertain state of relationships among extinct stemmed echinoderms (Smith, 1984; Sumrall, 1997, 2014; Ausich, 1998a, 1998b; Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2009; Kammer et al., 2013; Ausich et al., 2015; Guensburg et al., 2016; O’Malley et al., 2016). The analysis of Ordovician crinoids by Ausich et al. (2015) took a conservative approach to outgroup selection by sampling broadly across taxa nested within the Clade Pelmatozoa (Kammer et al., 2013; Sumrall, 2014). Similarly, we have chosen species from multiple pelmatozoan groups as external speciﬁers to help provide nomenclatural stability in the presence of phylogenetic uncertainty. Other taxa hypothesized to represent the crinoid sister group include the stylophorans (David et al., 2000) and edrioasteroids (Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2009; Guensburg et al., 2016). Stylophorans have long been considered non-radiate stem group echinoderms (e.g., Paul and Smith, 1984; Smith, 1984, 2008) and have been cogently demonstrated to lack crown group synapomorphies (Smith, 2005). Thus, we do not consider the stylophoran hypothesis further. Guensburg and Sprinkle (2009) and Guensburg et al. (2016) regard edrioasteroid echinoderms, such as the stromatocystidid Cambraster or the edrioblastoid Cambroblastus, to possess apomorphies indicating they share a more recent common ancestor with crinoids than with other echinoderms. Although this hypothesis contrasts with previous studies regarding edrioasteroids as stem group eleutherozoans (Paul and Smith, 1984; Smith 1984, 1985, 1990; Smith and Zamora, 2013), recent investigations suggest that edrioasteroids may comprise a para- or polyphyletic group (Kammer et al., 2013; Zamora, 2013; Zamora and Rahman, 2014).

Because a comprehensive, up-to-date phylogeny of pentaradiate echinoderm lineages is currently lacking, we Downloaded from https:/www.cambridge.org/core.

(2016) by including both Cambraster and the edrioblastoid Cambroblastus as additional external taxon speciﬁers. Identifying synapomorphies of the Clade Crinoidea requires a phylogenetic hypothesis of their position within the broader echinoderm clade. As discussed above, this remains an open question. Basal members of both the Camerata and Pentacrinoidea have a dicyclic calyx with an irregular ﬁeld of plates intercalating between ﬁxed proximal brachials, suggesting these may be plesiomorphic traits (cf. Apektocrinus, Cnemecrinus, Glenocrinus) (Guensburg, 2012, Ausich et al., 2015; Cole, 2017; Wright, 2017), but a deﬁnitive list of shared derived traits cannot be provided here. Moreover, it is challenging to propose a list of apomorphies that unambiguously differentiate crinoids from other echinoderm taxa because many traits are not exclusive to crinoids. Crinoids have been traditionally recognized as distinct from blastozoan-grade echinoderms in having true ‘arms,’ where arms are deﬁned as coelomic extensions of the body cavity (Sprinkle, 1973). However, morphologic observations of solute and diploporitan echinoderms such as Eumorphocystis and the discovery of various Cambrian ‘blastozoans’ with arm-like appendages strongly suggest that arms may not be an apomorphy unique to crinoids (Clausen et al., 2009; Zamora and Smith, 2011; Sumrall, 2014; Zamora and Rahman, 2014). We anticipate future phylogenetic research will help resolve these broader issues in echinoderm phylogeny and evolution. Improved knowledge of relationships among extinct pentaradiate echinoderms may also help reﬁne our deﬁnition of the Clade Crinoidea by removing pleonastic external speciﬁers. We await its reﬁnement. Camerata Wachsmuth and Springer, 1885 Deﬁnition.—The Camerata is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing Actinocrinites triacontadactylus Miller, 1821 and Rhodocrinites verus Miller, 1821 but not Pentacrinites fossilis Blumenbach, 1804. Remarks.—Camerate crinoids represent a diverse, morphologically distinct ‘stem clade’ (sensu Sereno, 1999, 2005) ranging from the Lower Ordovician to Permian and contain all taxa traditionally placed within the Diplobathrida and Monobathrida (Moore and Teichert, 1978; Cole, 2017). Camerates are most easily differentiated from pentacrinoids in having calyx plates united by rigid sutures, a heavily plated tegmen surface covering the mouth, and a medial plate (or series of plates) in the posterior (i.e., CD) interray. Unlike pentacrinoids, the camerate posterior plate series has no proximal topographic afﬁnity with the C ray, although some camerate posterior plates may be homologous with those of pentacrinoids (see Jaekel, 1918, p. 46; Moore and Laudon, 1943; Brower, 1973, p. 301–304; Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003). In addition, typical camerate species have ﬁxed proximal brachials, interradials, and sometimes intrabrachials, whereas most derived pentacrinoid clades lack these features. Multiple studies indicate strong support for camerate monophyly (Ausich, 1998b; Ausich et al., 2015; Cole, 2017). However, Cole’s (2017) analysis of Ordovician camerates did not ﬁnd support for a strict division between monocyclic and dicyclic forms. Cole’s (2017) phylogenetic revision proposed narrower restrictions on clade membership to render these taxa monophyletic. Following revision, the Monobathrida and Diplobathrida are sister clades that together comprise the more inclusive Eucamerata (Cole, 2017). Thus, the stem-based deﬁnition of the Camerata contains the Clade Eucamerata and their stem taxa, including representatives of the oldest known crinoid fossils (e.g., Eknomocrinus, Cnemecrinus), and genera placed within the problematic Reteocrinitidae (see Cole, 2017), and may or may not contain the protocrinoids (see Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003; Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015; Cole, 2017). Eucamerata Cole, 2017 Deﬁnition.—The Eucamerata is node-deﬁned as the least inclusive clade containing Actinocrinites triacontadactylus Miller, 1821, Rhodocrinites verus Miller, 1821, and Rosfacrinus robustus Le Menn and Spjeldnaes, 1996. Remarks.—Cole (2017) revised the Monobathrida and Diplobathrida to represent monophyletic groups while attempting to preserve the greatest number of taxa traditionally included within each (Moore and Teichert, 1978). The name ‘Eucamerata’ was proposed to identify the clade of camerates comprised of the sister groups Monobathrida and Diplobathrida, which necessarily excludes stem taxa such as Cnemecrinus and Reteocrinus (Cole, 2017). The Eucamerata comprise the majority of camerate taxa and span the Ordovician through Permian. Eucamerates are characterized generally by the traits listed above for the Camerata, but differ in typically having more strongly ankylosed calyx plate sutures, primaxils on the second primibrachial, holomeric stems, and pinnulate arms (cf. Actinocrinites and Rhodocrinites with Eknomocrinus and Reteocrinus). In an attempt to preserve the stability of sister group relationships between monobathrid and diplobathrid clades, we provide a node-based deﬁnition for the Eucamerata and stembased deﬁnitions for the Monobathrida and Diplobathrida. The internal taxon speciﬁers Actinocrinites and Rhodocrinites are highly nested constituents of their respective monobathrid and diplobathrid subclades (Moore and Laudon, 1943; Cole, 2017). Rosfacrinus is cautiously included as an additional external speciﬁer because it occupies a somewhat uncertain position at the base of the eucamerate tree (see discussion in Cole, 2017). Monobathrida Moore and Laudon, 1943 Deﬁnition.—The Monobathrida is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing Glyptocrinus decadactylus Hall, 1847 and Actinocrinites triacontadactylus Miller, 1821 but not Rhodocrinites verus Miller, 1821 and Archaeocrinus lacunosus (Billings, 1857). Remarks.—When revising Bather’s (1899) polyphyletic division of crinoids into the Monocyclica and Dicyclica, Moore and Laudon (1943) placed all camerates with monocyclic calyces into the Monobathrida. Cole’s (2017) phylogenetic analysis of Ordovician camerate crinoids indicates a strict adherence to Moore and Laudon’s (1943) concept of the Monobathrida is not monophyletic. However, removal of the stemward camerates Downloaded from https:/www.cambridge.org/core. IP address: 208.58.6.11, on 23 Feb 2017 at 05:32:03, subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at https:/www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.org/10.1017/jpa.2016.142 Wright et al.—Phylogenetic classiﬁcation of the Crinoidea Eknomocrinus and Adelphicrinus renders the Monobathrida a clade (Cole, 2017). The internal and external speciﬁers deﬁning this stem-based clade ensure the taxonomic content closely matches Moore and Laudon (1943). Monobathrids are a taxonomically diverse group of camerates ranging from the Ordovician to Permian and are traditionally diagnosed as monocyclic camerates. Although other clades had similar trends in circlet reduction (e.g., the Disparida), the transformation from a dicyclic to monocyclic calyx likely represents a veritable synapomorphy of monobathrid camerates, as the dicyclic crinoid Gaurocrinus was recovered as the sister taxon to the Monobathrida by Cole (2017). Additional features diagnostic of a typical monobathrid species include having radial plates larger than other calyx plates, an upright basal circlet, an uninterrupted radial circlet (except in the posterior interray), and a posterior interray with anitaxis plating and an anitaxial ridge. Diplobathrida Moore and Laudon, 1943 Deﬁnition.—The Diplobathrida is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing Archaeocrinus lacunosus (Billings, 1857) and Rhodocrinites verus Miller, 1821 but not Actinocrinites triacontadactylus Miller, 1821 and Glyptocrinus decadactylus Hall, 1847. Remarks.—Similar to the discussion above, Moore and Laudon (1943) placed all of Bather’s (1899) dicyclic camerate crinoids within the Diplobathrida. As with the monobathrids, Cole’s (2017) phylogenetic analysis of Ordovician camerates revealed Moore and Laudon’s (1943) Diplobathrida required revision. To achieve monophyly of diplobathrids while retaining much of Moore and Laudon’s (1943) taxonomic content, all dicyclic taxa equally related to both monobathrid and diplobathrid camerates sensu Cole (2017) are removed from the Diplobathrida (e.g., Eknomocrinus, Reteocrinids, etc.). Following Cole’s (2017) suggested revision, our stem-based deﬁnition stabilizes the longheld hypothesis that monobathrids and diplobathrids represent sister clades (Moore and Laudon, 1943; Cole, 2017). Diplobathrids range from the Ordovician through lower Carboniferous (Serpukhovian). Cole’s (2017) discussion on the taxonomic distribution of diplobathrid morphologies suggests they are generally characterized by a combination of character states, including a dicyclic calyx, a concave calyx base either concealing or partially concealing the infrabasal plates, and the presence of additional plates interrupting the radial circlet in all interrays (e.g., Rhodocrinites). Some diplobathrids sensu Cole (2017), such as the Dimerocrinitidae, are similar to monobathrids in having their radial circlet interrupted only in the posterior interray but can easily be distinguished by their dicyclic calyx. A closer examination of post-Ordovician species indicates a substantial revision of subclades within the Diplobathrida is needed and additional research is currently underway (Cole, 2015) Pentacrinoidea Jaekel, 1918 Deﬁnition.—The Pentacrinoidea is stem-deﬁned and as the most inclusive clade containing Apektocrinus ubaghsi Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2009 and Pentacrinites fossilis Blumenbach, 1804 9 but not Rhodocrinites verus Miller, 1821 and Actinocrinites triacontadactylus Miller, 1821. Remarks.—The name ‘Pentacrinoidea’ originates from Jaekel’s (1894, 1918) prescient observation that camerate and noncamerate crinoids form distinct clades. Although authors after Jaekel (1918) did not adopt this name in subsequent classiﬁcations (see Lane, 1978; Ausich and Kammer, 2001), Jaekel’s usage coincides with this strongly supported clade (Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015; Cole, 2017; Wright, 2017). Thus, we propose to reinstate the name Pentacrinoidea with the preceding deﬁnition. We have chosen two phylogenetically distant non-camerate species as internal speciﬁers. Pentacrinites fossilis is a wellknown fossil species from rocks of Jurassic age and is closely related to extant isocrinid crinoids (David et al., 2006), placing it within the Crown Crinoidea (see Articulata below). The species Apektocrinus ubaghsi is a Lower Ordovician fossil and ranks among the stratigraphically oldest known crinoids (Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2009). However, all phylogenetic research indicates it is closer to non-camerates than to camerates and diverges stemward of other basal ‘cladid’ (sensu Moore and Teichert, 1978) taxa such as Aethocrinus (Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2009; Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015; Wright, 2017). Our stem-based deﬁnition recognizes Jaekel’s (1918) priority of this concept and effectively places all known non-camerate species within the Pentacrinoidea. Pentacrinoids are a spectacularly diverse and morphologically heterogeneous clade ranging from the Early Ordovician to present-day marine communities. The primary apomorphies differentiating pentacrinoids from camerates relate to their distinctive posterior plating patterns, the degree of calyx plate suturing, and oral region rigidity (‘tegmen’ terminology here is from Ausich and Kammer, 2016). Posterior plates among pentacrinoids display a proximal relationship with the C-ray radial plate (Guensburg, 2010; Wright, 2015a). Subclades within the Pentacrinoidea express this afﬁnity differently (cf. Cladida and Disparida), and extant crinoids do not retain posterior plates as adults. However, the ontogenetic trajectory of posterior plate development in extant crinoids is tightly linked with morphologic patterns among their Paleozoic precursors (Wright, 2015a). Pentacrinoid calyx plates are less closely sutured (i.e., ankylosed) than camerates and typically have a non-rigid to ﬂexible oral region. In many pentacrinoids, the mouth is directly exposed on the oral surface rather than beneath a tegmen (Ausich and Kammer, 2016). There are several other morphologic features less diagnostic than those described above but still useful for distinguishing most pentacrinoid species from camerates. For example, some basal pentacrinoids such as Apektocrinus, Aethocrinus, and Alphacrinus incorporate additional plates within the calyx (similar to camerates). However, the overwhelming majority of pentacrinoid clades do not. A major exception occurs among ﬂexible crinoids, but ﬂexibles are a derived group of pentacrinoids and can be differentiated from camerates by other apomorphies (see Flexibilia below). Similarly, eucamerate crinoids have pinnules, but most early to middle Paleozoic pentacrinoids do not. Pinnulation evolved at least once (and probably several times) during the middle to late Paleozoic Downloaded from https:/www.cambridge.org/core.

Inadunata Wachsmuth and Springer, 1885 Deﬁnition.—The Inadunata is node-deﬁned as the least inclusive clade containing Synbathocrinus conicus Phillips, 1836 and Dendrocrinus longidactylus Hall, 1852. Remarks.—Wachsmuth and Springer (1885) placed non-articulate fossil crinoids with free arms above the radial plates within the Inadunata. Subsequent classiﬁcations divided the Inadunata into the Cladida and Disparida according to the number of circlets in the calyx (Moore and Laudon, 1943; Moore and Teichert, 1978). In a pioneering study on phylogenetic approaches to crinoid classiﬁcation, Simms and Sevastopulo (1993) pointed out the Inadunata of Moore and Teichert (1978) was paraphyletic and recommended the name be abandoned. In addition, Simms and Sevastopulo’s (1993) revision resolved the paraphyly of cladid inadunates by including the Flexibilia and Articulata within the Cladida. The division between the Camerata and Pentacrinoidea (discussed above) indicates disparids and cladids are more closely related to one another than to camerates (Fig. 2). Indeed, recent phylogenetic analyses of Ordovician crinoids recover a sister group relationship between disparids and cladids (sensu Moore and Laudon, 1943), with hybocrinids nested within the Cladida (Fig. 2) (Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015; Wright, 2017). Our deﬁnition of the Inadunata combines Wachsmuth and Springer’s (1885) original concept with Simms and Sevastopulo’s (1993) revision of the Cladida to include ﬂexibles and articulates. Note that this deﬁnition places stemward pentacrinoids, such as Apektocrinus, outside the Inadunata. We combine a node-based deﬁnition of the Inadunata with stem-based deﬁnitions for the subclades Disparida and Cladida to form a node-stem triplet to increase the stability of sister relationships between these taxa (Sereno, 1999). The Clade Inadunata ranges from the Early Ordovician to the present and are as a whole well characterized by Wachsmuth and Springer’s (1885) general concept of crinoids with free arms above the radial plates. Exceptions to this diagnosis occur but are mostly restricted to a few stemward taxa and the Flexibilia, which represent a derived group of inadunates (Springer, 1920). Disparida Moore and Laudon, 1943 Deﬁnition.—The Disparida is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing Synbathocrinus conicus Phillips, 1836 but not Dendrocrinus longidactylus Hall, 1852. Remarks.—Disparids comprise a diminutive but morphologically and taxonomically diverse clade of fossil crinoids ranging from the Ordovician through Permian. Moore and Laudon (1943) erected the Disparida to include all monocyclic inadunates. Disparid monophyly is well supported by phylogenetic analyses of Ordovician crinoids (Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015; Wright, 2017) and contains all species closer to Synbathocrinus than the cladid Dendrocrinus. Given the similar topologies across these studies, the Clade Disparida retains taxa traditionally placed within disparids (sensu Moore and Laudon, 1943) except for the hybocrinids. A major synapomorphy and useful diagnostic trait of disparid crinoids is the presence of a single circlet of plates below the radials. All other pentacrinoids are either dicyclic (cladids), pseudomonocyclic (hybocrinids) (see Sprinkle, 1982b), or otherwise phylogenetically distant from disparids (some derived articulates may not develop infrabasals, see Lahaye and Jangoux, 1987). Disparids also have simple or compound radial plates, typically lack pinnules, and have approximate bilateral symmetry between rays oriented in one of several possible planes (see Moore et al., 1978b). As pentacrinoids, disparids have posterior plates in a proximal position to the C ray but differ from cladids in having plates positioned above rather than below or in line with the C-ray radial plate. However, posterior plate homologies among disparids and between inadunate clades are presently obscured by a set of descriptive terms opaque to homology. Whether the proximal C-ray posterior plate is an anibrachial,’ a ‘radianal,’ an ‘anal X,’ a ‘superradial,’ or a ‘radial’ is uncertain (Moore, 1962; Moore and Teichert, 1978; Ausich, 1996). Future work is needed to help clarify primary posterior plate homologies among disparids and between cladids and disparids. The results of Wright’s (2017) analysis of Ordovician through Devonian pentacrinoid taxa support Guensburg’s (2010) assessment of Alphacrinus as a lower Tremadocian crinoid phylogenetically close to the base of the disparid clade. Guensburg (2010) considered the posterior of Alphacrinus to express a transitional form between ‘typical’ pentacrinoid posterior plates and the ray-like extensions common among disparid taxa. A re-examination of the posterior interray of basal taxa combined with studies on disparid ontogeny may help resolve this issue. Cladida Moore and Laudon, 1943 Deﬁnition.—The Cladida is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing Dendrocrinus longidactylus Hall, 1852 but not Synbathocrinus conicus Phillips, 1836. Remarks.—The Cladida were originally deﬁned by Moore and Laudon (1943) to comprise a tremendously diverse and longranging (Ordovician–Triassic) assemblage of dicyclic inadunates with their mouths covered with primary peristomial cover plates (Ausich and Kammer, 2016). Moore and Laudon’s (1943) original concept and taxonomic content of the Cladida is paraphyletic, as they agreed with Springer’s (1920) earlier assessment that ﬂexible crinoids were more closely related to some cladids than others but did not place the Flexibilia within the Cladida. Moreover, post-Paleozoic crinoids within Miller’s (1821) Articulata have long been considered descendants of Paleozoic cladids (Jaekel, 1918; Moore et al., 1952; Rassmussen, 1978; Simms, 1988). Simms and Sevastopulo (1993) conducted a cladistic analysis of Paleozoic cladids, ﬂexibles, and articulate crinoids and subsequently remedied cladid paraphyly by placing the Flexibilia and the Articulata within the Cladida (sensu Moore and Laudon, 1943).

Our stem-based deﬁnition of the Cladida is similar in taxonomic content to Simms and Sevastopulo’s (1993) because it includes all species closer to Dendrocrinus than to the disparid Synbathocrinus. Thus, the Cladida spans the Ordovician to the Recent and contains the major subclades Porocrinoidea, Flexibilia, and Articulata. Cladids are most easily distinguished from their sister group, the Disparida, in typically having a dicyclic calyx and posterior plates (as adults or during development) located below and/or in line with the radial plate circlet (Wright, 2015a). Lastly, many middle Paleozoic to Recent cladids have pinnules, whereas most disparids do not (Frest et al., 1979). Porocrinoidea Wright, 2017 Deﬁnition.—The Porocrinoidea is node-deﬁned as the least inclusive clade containing Carabocrinus radiatus Billings, 1857 and Hybocrinus conicus Billings, 1857. Remarks.—In their description of crinoids belonging to Bather’s (1899) ‘Cyathocrinina’, Moore and Laudon (1943) speculated that ‘primitive’ cyathocrinids such as Carabocrinus might be closely related to the enigmatic taxon Hybocrinus. Sprinkle (1982b) argued the stem and calyx morphology of Hybocrinus suggested hybocrinids were ‘pseudomonocyclic’ and listed a number of characters linking hybocrinids with cladids. Although hybocrinids have not traditionally been classiﬁed within the Cladida, many phylogenetic analyses of Ordovician crinoids have recovered a clade of ‘cyathocrine’ grade cladids and hybocrinids (Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015; Wright, 2017). Wright’s (2017) phylogenetic analysis of Ordovician through Devonian pentacrinoids recovered a clade comprised of Porocrinus, Carabocrinus, and the hybocrinids Hybocrinus and Hybocystites. Notably, this clade is stemward of the split between ﬂexible and other cladid crinoids. Thus, Wright (2017) proposed the name ‘Porocrinoidea’ to encompass this early diverging and morphologically unique clade of Ordovician crinoids. Our node-based deﬁnition of the Porocrinoidea sets up a node-stem triplet that stabilizes the sister clade relationship among the Porocrinida and Hybocrinida recovered by Ausich et al. (2015), which had denser taxon sampling of Ordovician crinoids than Wright (2017). The Clade Porocrinoidea is likely limited to the Ordovician Period, but additional analyses sampling younger species are needed to test the extent of their geologic duration. Porocrinoids are a subclade of cladids characterized by globose, conical, or ovate calyces that possess a number of apomorphies convergent with blastozoan echinoderms, such as having thecal respiratory structures, reduction in arm number and calyx plates, and/or recumbent ambulacra (see Moore and Teichert, 1978; Sprinkle, 1982a, 1982b). 11 and Carabocrinus radiatus Billings, 1857 but not Hybocrinus conicus Billings, 1857. Remarks.—The Porocrinida comprise a small clade of Ordovician porocrinoids with apomorphic endothecal and/or exothecal respiratory structures. Sprinkle (1982a) pointed to many similarities among Carabocrinus, Palaeocrinus, and the Porocrinidae and hypothesized they may be closely related. Ausich et al. (2015) recovered a topology supporting this hypothesis with the euspirocrinid Illemocrinus as their sister taxon. However, Wright (2017) recovered Euspirocrinus outside the porocrinid clade within a different clade of ‘cyathocrine’ grade cladids. Thus, Illemocrinus is tentatively placed within the Porocrinida, but other taxa within the Euspriocrinidae should not be placed within the Porocrinida at this time as additional revisions are necessary. Guensburg (2012) recovered a similar tree to Ausich et al. (2015) that suggested Perittocrinus may be also be a porocrinid. The stem-based deﬁnition of the Porocrinida makes them sister to the Hybocrinida and retains the taxonomic membership of this clade recovered in Ausich et al. (2015) and Guensburg (2012). Porocrinids can easily be distinguished from hybocrinids in having a dicyclic calyx and the presence of thecal respiratory structures (Kesling and Paul, 1968; Sprinkle, 1982a). Hybocrinida Jaekel, 1918 Deﬁnition.—The Hybocrinida is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing Hybocrinus conicus Billings, 1857 and Hybocystites problematicus Wetherby, 1880 but not Porocrinus conicus Billings, 1857 and Carabocrinus radiatus Billings, 1857. Remarks.—Hybocrinids comprise a small yet morphologically disparate clade of Ordovician crinoids. Although the monocyclic hybocrinids have been either considered disparids or classiﬁed outside the Inadunata (Moore and Laudon, 1943; Moore and Teichert, 1978; Ausich, 1998b), Sprinkle (1982b) suspected hybocrinids might be ‘pseudomonocyclic’ and potentially related to ‘cyathocrine’ cladids (see Sprinkle, 1982a, 1982b). Phylogenetic analyses by Guensburg (2012), Ausich et al. (2015), and Wright (2017) all support the monophyly of the Hybocrinida and their sister group relationship with taxa placed in the Porocrinida (see Sprinkle, 1982b). In addition to having a pseudomonocyclic calyx (infrabasals absent), hybocrinids are characterized by a number of unusual apomorphies that distinguish them from Porocrinids (and all other crinoids). Many of these traits are similar to those typically present in blastozoan echinoderms, including reduction in the number of arms, modiﬁcation of food-gathering appendages to be recumbent (sometimes extending downward over calyx plates), and reduction in the number of calyx plates (Sprinkle and Moore, 1978). Flexibilia Zittel, 1895 Porocrinida Miller and Gurley, 1894 Deﬁnition.—The Porocrinida is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing Porocrinus conicus Billings, 1857 Deﬁnition.—The Flexibilia is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing Taxocrinus macrodactylus (Phillips, 1841) but not Dendrocrinus longidactylus Hall, 1852.

Springer (1911, 1920) was the ﬁrst to recognize that ﬂexible crinoids were closely related to inadunates. In his comprehensive 1920 monograph, The Crinoidea Flexibilia, Springer compared morphologic characteristics of the inadunate Cupulocrinus with the earliest known ﬂexible Protaxocrinus, citing numerous similarities in calyx plating, interradial areas, and the arrangement of posterior plates. Springer (1920) concluded Cupulocrinus was potentially a transitional fossil that linked inadunates with ﬂexibles, stating, “there is clearly an intermingling of the characters … and it is evident that in Cupulocrinus we have to deal with a transition [sic] form whose exact status is difﬁcult to decide” (Springer, 1920, p. 89). Subsequent taxonomic treatments have also recognized Cupulocrinus as occupying a proximal position to the base of the ﬂexible tree (Moore and Laudon, 1943; Moore and Teichert, 1978). Phylogenetic analyses sampling ﬂexible and other crinoid taxa have invariably recovered tree topologies supporting Springer’s (1911, 1920) hypothesis, with Cupulocrinus recovered as the sister taxon to the Flexibilia (Brower, 1995, 2001; Ausich, 1998b; Ausich et al., 2015; Wright, 2017). Wright’s (2017) analysis used Bayesian methods to estimate the probability of Cupulocrinus being ancestral (sensu Foote, 1996) to the ﬂexible clade. Results strongly support Cupulocrinus as occupying an ancestral position (posterior probability = 0.99) (Wright, 2017). Given these results and our stem-based deﬁnition of the Flexibilia, species of Cupulocrinus are now placed within the ﬂexibles. Flexible crinoids have loosely sutured calyx plating and a remarkably uniform set of apomorphies relative to other crinoid clades. For example, ﬂexibles differ from cladids in having interradial and intrabrachial plates and differ from other dicyclic crinoids in typically having their lowermost circlet comprised of three (rather than ﬁve) infrabasal plates. One infrabasal plate, the ‘azygous’, is smaller than the other two, and is located in the C ray (except for the derived Forbesiocrinus). Many ﬂexibles retain posterior plate arrangements similar to other cladids, but posterior plates are sometimes absent in more derived ﬂexibles. In contrast with cladids, arms of ﬂexible crinoids are universally uniserial and lack pinnules, and the stem is nearly always transversely circular (Springer, 1920). Eucladida Wright, 2017 Deﬁnition.—The Eucladida is stem-deﬁned as the most inclusive clade containing Dendrocrinus longidactylus Hall, 1952 and Pentacrinites fossilis Blumenbach, 1804 but not Taxocrinus macrodactylus (Phillips, 1841). Remarks.—The revision of the Cladida to be monophyletic requires placing the subclades Porocrinoidea, Flexibilia, and Articulata within a more inclusively deﬁned Clade Cladida (Simms and Sevastopulo, 1993; Wright, 2017). However, the Cladida (sensu Moore and Laudon, 1943) is traditionally conceived as a Paleozoic-age paraphyletic group that excludes the Flexibilia. The Eucladida was proposed by Wright (2017) to comprise all species within the Clade Cladida sharing a more recent common ancestor with Dendrocrinus and Pentacrinites than with Taxocrinus. Thus, the stem-deﬁned clades Flexibilia and Eucladida are sister to one another and articulates are nested within the Eucladida. This Eucladida retains much of the meaning and taxonomic content of Moore and Laudon’s (1943) concept for Paleozoic cladids while eschewing paraphyly. In the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Moore et al. (1978a) recognized three rank-based taxa within the Cladida: the Dendrocrinida, the Cyathocrinida, and the Poteriocrinida. However, it has long been questioned whether these taxa represent monophyletic groups (McIntosh, 1986, 2001; Sevastopulo and Lane, 1988; Kammer and Ausich, 1992, 1996; Simms and Sevastopulo, 1993; Wright, 2015a, 2015b; Wright, and Ausich, 2015). Indeed, the Poteriocrinida is depicted in the Treatise as a polyphyletic group (Moore et al., 1978a, ﬁg. 412). A phylogenetic analysis of Ordovician through Devonian pentacrinoids by Wright (2017) has conﬁrmed the doubts over the monophyly of these taxa. Much of the problem arises from ambiguous and/or uninformative apomorphies chosen for these taxa that perpetuate taxonomic anarchy via ‘undiagnostic diagnoses’ (Wright, 2015b; see Lane, 1978, p. T295). Although much revision is needed, recent analyses indicate there is nevertheless considerable phylogenetic structure among subclades of Paleozoic cladids, and additional work is under way to revise this diverse group (Wright, 2015b). Articulata Miller, 1821 Deﬁnition.—The Articulata is node-deﬁned as the least inclusive clade containing Endoxocrinus parrae (Gervais, 1835) and Antedon biﬁda (Pennant, 1777). Remarks.—The Articulata was proposed by Miller (1821) and has since developed a longstanding reputation as a problematic group that lacks a concise and unambiguous deﬁnition (Rasmussen, 1978; Simms, 1988; Simms and Sevastopulo, 1993; Webster and Jell, 1999; Rouse et al., 2013). Although all extant crinoids are invariably recognized as articulates, much confusion surrounds the recognition of fossil articulates and the timing of their origin. The primary difﬁculties surround which apomorphy (or combination of apomorphies) is useful for diagnosing the Articulata. For example, it is widely appreciated that no apomorphy or unique set of apomorphies can presently diagnose fossil articulates without ambiguity (Simms, 1988; Simms and Sevastopulo, 1993; Webster and Jell, 1999; Rouse et al., 2013). Most crinoid workers have obviated this problem by simply treating the Articulata as synonymous with postPaleozoic crinoids (see Simms and Sevastopulo, 1993). However, this usage is problematic because this deﬁnition is not based on any explicit phylogenetic hypothesis. Moreover, many Paleozoic groups of fossil cladids share different combinations of traits typically listed as ‘diagnostic’ for the Articulata (Webster and Jell, 1999; Webster and Lane, 2007). If the concept of what deﬁnes the Articulata depends on the choice of a particular combination of apomorphies alone, then questions regarding the ‘origin of the Articulata’ will always depend on which speciﬁc combination was chosen a priori to be diagnostic. Without a phylogenetic deﬁnition, it is impossible to objectively specify a precise set of synapomorphies for the Articulata. Thus, Downloaded from https:/www.cambridge.org/core.

As discussed by Ruta et al. (2003), the concepts of stem groups and crown groups are sometimes misinterpreted or misused in the paleontological literature. Used properly, crown groups are deﬁned by extant taxon speciﬁers. Notably, crown groups may be comprised of many (or mostly) extinct fossil species. For example, if a fossil crinoid is more closely related to some extant species than others, it is a member of the crown group. According to Rouse et al. (2013), the most recent common ancestor of all extant crinoids lived sometime during the Middle to Upper Triassic. Thus, our node-based deﬁnition eliminates the non-phylogenetic concept of ‘post-Paleozoic Crinoidea’ while retaining the majority of post-Paleozoic crinoids traditionally included within the Articulata. The Clade Articulata is synonymous with the Crown Crinoidea (Sumrall, 2014), and we advocate workers use these terms interchangeably depending on context (e.g., discussing relationships among crinoids or between crinoids and non-crinoids). Traits that may be present in the Articulate ancestor are listed in Simms (1988), Simms and Sevastopulo (1993), Webster and Jell (1999), and Rouse et al. (2013). The Articulata likely contains most post-Paleozoic taxa traditionally considered articulates, including the ~600 or so extant species. Although we deﬁne Articulata with precision and phylogenetic stability (Rouse et al., 2013, 2015), it remains difﬁcult in practice to unambiguously identify fossil articulates, particularly among specimens near the base of the articulate tree. However, such difﬁculties are already present and have long obfuscated the origin of the crinoid crown group. The more important problem is resolving the phylogenetic position of the common ancestor of extant crinoids within the myriad of fossil lineages. Our deﬁnition provides a useful framework for future phylogenetic research to uncover relationships between potential stem articulates, extinct crown group lineages, and extant species. A revised rank-based classiﬁcation of the Crinoidea Crinoid clades identiﬁed herein conﬁrm many long-held views on the major divisions among crinoids from both the foundational work of Moore and Laudon (1943) and Moore and Teichert (1978) to more recent analyses (i.e., Ausich, 1998a, 1998b; Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003; Guensburg, 2012; Ausich et al., 2015). Results from all of these studies recognized the Camerata, Diplobathrida, Monobathrida, Hybocrinida, Disparida, Cladida, and Flexibilia. The challenge is to represent these widely recognized clades in a rank-based Linnaean classiﬁcation scheme that maximizes common usages of names for crinoid lineages (Moore and Teichert, 1978) and is consistent with a phylogenetic understanding of relationships (Wiley and Lieberman, 2011). In our revision, the Crinoidea remain a class and every attempt is made to retain orders as recognized in Moore and Teichert (1978). Unfortunately, the tree topology of Figure 2 prevented the attainment of the latter in all instances, but the addition of intermediate Linnaean ranks makes it easier to apply a phylogenetic perspective to rank-based crinoid 13 classiﬁcation. The use of intermediate ranks (e.g., Parvclass) follows traditional use in pre-existing taxonomic literature (see Carroll, 1988; Sibley, 1994; Benton, 2005). Two older taxonomic names, the Pentacrinoidea Jaekel, 1918 and Inadunata Wachsmuth and Springer, 1885, are formally reinstated herein because they represent meaningful clades as described above. Post-Ordovician cladids (sensu Moore and Laudon, 1943) and the Protocrinoida (Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003) remain problematic groups. Because the rank for a monophyletic Cladida must be above ﬂexibles and articulates (Simms and Sevastopulo, 1993), we propose the name Cyathoformes to contain taxa traditionally placed within the Cladida that are sister to the Articulata. Relationships among these taxa are the subject of future phylogenetic research (Wright, 2015b) and are not treated further here. From their initial description (Guensburg and Sprinkle, 2003), the protocrinoids have been an important but confounding group of crinoids that display characteristics of both crinoids and other stalked echinoderms. Guensburg and Sprinkle (2003) regarded the protocrinoid as an “order (plesion)”. The validity of the protocrinoids was later questioned by Guensburg and Sprinkle (2009) and led Guensburg (2012) to formally place them within the Camerata. However, Ausich et al. (2015) recovered a sister group relationship between Titanocrinus and Glenocrinus, but with protocrinoids more closely related to non-camerates than camerates. In contrast, Cole’s (2017) analysis of Ordovician crinoids recovered the protocrinoids as more closely related to camerates than non-camerates. Thus, we have carefully chosen our clade deﬁnitions to not depend on a particular phylogenetic hypothesis or morphologic interpretation of these signiﬁcant but problematic taxa. For the moment, we tentatively place both protocrinoid taxa as Crinoidea incertae sedis subclass Protocrinoida. In our present understanding of crinoid evolution, the ﬁrst major divergence occurs between camerates and all other crinoids (Fig. 2). The subclass rank is retained for the Camerata; and the subclass Pentacrinoidea Jaekel, 1918 is proposed for its sister group (Table 2). Within the Camerata, the orders Diplobathrida and Monobathrida are retained as sister groups, and the infraclass Eucamerata Cole (2017) unites these two orders. In phylogenetic analyses of camerates, several taxa are not placed within the Monobathrida and Diplobathrida (sensu Cole, 2017). Thus, they are considered here to be stem eucamerates (see remarks for Eucamerata above). The subclass Camerata unites these stem taxa with eucamerates. In terms of species richness, the subclass Pentacrinoidea is the largest crinoid clade. This includes the Disparida, Cladida, Hybocrinida, and Articulata of Moore and Teichert (1978), which coincides exactly with Jaekel’s (1918) concept of the Pentacrinoidea (see Lane, 1978). Hence, we have proposed the reinstatement of this name. The Pentacrinoidea is comprised of the infraclass Inadunata and their stem taxa (e.g., Apektocrinus). The concept for the Inadunata in Moore and Teichert (1978) united the Disparida and the Cladida. Here, the infraclass Inadunata unites the Disparida, Cladida, and all of their descendants. This usage circumvents the non-phylogenetic usage of the Inadunata (sensu Moore and Teichert, 1978) and is consistent with the phylogenetic conclusions of Simms and Downloaded from https:/www.cambridge.org/core.

With the Inadunata an infraclass, the Disparida and Cladida are both parvclasses. Taxa placed within the Disparida are in need of revision, and current work is underway to establish relationships among sublcades (Ausich and Donovan, 2015). Within the Cladida, the Hybocrinida, Porocrinida, Taxocrinida Springer, 1913 and Sagenocrinida Springer, 1913 are orders (Table 2). The orders Hybocrinida and Porocrinida are sister groups forming the superorder Porocrinoidea Wright (2017). The Flexibilia are transferred to the superorder rank, which is comprised of the two sister groups, order Taxocrinida and order Sagenocrinida. The Cyathoformes and Articulata comprise the magnorder Eucladida (Wright, 2017). The Eucladida retains most cyathocrinids, dendrocrinids, and poteriocrinids of Moore and Teichert (1978). As discussed above, phylogenetic relationships within this clade await further study (Wright, 2015b). Analyses detailing the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic crinoid phylogeny are needed to understand this crucial period of crinoid evolution. Lastly, the Articulata is considered a superorder within the Cladida. Conclusions A phylogeny-based revision of crinoid systematics is proposed to clarify the deﬁnition of clades and inform a major revision of the rank-based Linnaean classiﬁcation. These revisions are based on recent computational phylogenetic analyses that build on the historic subdivision of crinoids into major lineages. It is hoped that the phylogenetic classiﬁcation schemes presented herein will help provide a framework for future research on crinoid phylogeny and offer guidance to crinoid workers and non-specialists alike interested in using this fascinating group of echinoderms to study evolutionary patterns and processes.
