Beaniidae

Wikipedia Abstract

Beaniidae is a small bryozoan family in the cheilostomatan suborder Flustrina. Their zooids have a weak box-like shell of calcium carbonate as most Flustrina, and in this family typically arranged disjunctly, connected by small tubes, and often boat-shaped. One species, Amphibiobeania epiphylla, is the only known amphibious bryozoan known as of 2008/09. There are a mere 3 genera unequivocally assigned to this family: \n* Amphibiobeania Metcalfe, Gordon & Hayward, 2007 \n* Beania Johnston, 1840 (including Dimorphozoum) \n* Stolonella Hincks, 1883
