<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Evitt et al. (1977) recommended the use of the prefix &quot;para&quot; in conjunction with features of the &lt;I&gt;[[cyst]]&lt;/I&gt; which had previously been described as &quot;corresponding to&quot;, &quot;reflected&quot; or being the &quot;equivalent of&quot; certain features of the &lt;I&gt;[[theca]]&lt;/I&gt;, such as &lt;I&gt;[[cingulum]]&lt;/I&gt;, &lt;I&gt;[[plate]]&lt;/I&gt;, &lt;I&gt;[[sulcus]]&lt;/I&gt;, &lt;I&gt;[[suture]]&lt;/I&gt; and &lt;I&gt;[[tabulation]]&lt;/I&gt; (hence: &lt;I&gt;[[paracingulum]]&lt;/I&gt;, &lt;I&gt;[[paraplate]]&lt;/I&gt;, &lt;I&gt;[[parasulcus]]&lt;/I&gt;, &lt;I&gt;[[parasuture]]&lt;/I&gt;, &lt;I&gt;[[paratabulation]]&lt;/I&gt;). In the present work, we found it simpler to avoid paraterminology, especially in diagnoses or descriptions of taxa containing both extant &lt;I&gt;[[thecate]]&lt;/I&gt; members and fossil &lt;I&gt;[[cyst]]&lt;/I&gt; members.<br /> [[Category:Glossary]]</div>
