Quasiendothyridae

Equatorial (left) and axial sections of Quasiendothyra kobeitusana, from Loeblich & Tappan (1964).

Belongs within: Fusulinida.

The Quasiendothyridae are a lineage of fusulinid Foraminifera with multiple chambers and true chomata known from the late Devonian, superficially similar but probably not directly related to the later Loeblichiidae (Cózar & Vachard 2001).
