Order “Miliolida” > Family “Soritidae” > Genus “Marginopora”
Large thick discoidal test with multiple rows of pores on the peripheral margin. Apertures are rounded to circular with a calcified rim like in Sorites. Brownish colour in living specimens due to dinophycean symbionts.

Semiinvolute test with undivided chambers and ornamented surface.Brownish colour in living specimens due to diatom symbionts.
Order “Miliolida” > Family “Soritidae” > Genus “Parasorites”
Discoidal test with annular chambers that are subdivided into chamberlets. Green colour in living specimens is caused by chlorophycean endosymbionts. Occurence: Indopacific.
Order “Miliolida” > Family “Peneroplidae” > Genus “Peneroplis”
Compressed test with involute and planispirally enrolled chambers in an early stage. Longitudinal stria as surface ornaments, apertures are arranged in a series of pores. As in all Peneroplidae, chambers have no internal subdivisions and rhodophyceans are housed as endosymbionts.

Discoidal test, early chambers are peneroplid, later chambers become annular and divided into chamberlets that are connected by a stolon system. Apertures occur along the peripheral margin, they are more or less circular and surrounded by a calcified rim. Living specimens have a brownish colour due to Symbiodinium endosymbionts.
