Fritillariidae

Genera

Fritillariidae comprises three genera, divided into two subfamilies. While the trunk anatomy differs between the genera, they share a similar arrangement of house-producing cells (oikoplasts) over the midline of the pharyngeal trunk, distinguishing them from the Oikopleuridae.
