POLYASCUS GLENNER, LÜTZEN & TAKAHASHI, 2003

Type species: Polyascus polygeneus (Lützen & Takahashi, 1997) .

Diagnosis (amended): By the molecular data. Externa morphology as for the family, but with obligatory multiple (colonial) externae that are replaced in successive generations

Species: Polyascus gregarius (Okada & Miyashita, 1935) , Polyascus planus ( Boschma, 1933) and Polyascus polygeneus (Lützen & Takahashi, 1997) .

Remarks: The diagnosis is amended from Glenner et al. (2003) by specifying also the obligatory presence of multiple externae, which separates it from the new genus Parasacculina defined below.
