Strophomenata is an extinct class of brachiopods in the subphylum Rhynchonelliformea.

Orders

Billingsellida

An order that contains the suborder Clitambonitidina (and others?) .

Orthotetida

An order or superfamily that includes the Chilidiopsoidea.[1] Ontogeny given by Bassett and Popov (2017), resembling that of Kutorginides.[1]

Believed to be sister to Strophomenides, = Strophoomenida + Billinsellida + Productida.[2]

Includes the Chileids (e.g. Coolinia).
