The Morellets (1913 : 31 ; 1918 : 102), students of Tertiary and Recent algae, grouped Clypeina under Acet- abulariae with Halicoryne, Acetabularia and Acicularia, three genera still surviving, and all showing separate sterile and fertile whorls and of somewhat similar mor- phology. Rezak (1957) summarizing this, agreed with the Morellets in their attribu- tion. Clypeina is now placed in a new tribe Clypeineae, for its geological appearance.
