Diagnosis Articulata with postlarval columnals joined by synarthrial articulations; column persisting in adult without true cirri and attached by radix or terminal disk (suborders Bourgueticrinina and Guillecrinina) or lost following postlarval stage with retention of proximalmost columnal as enlarged cirri-bearing centrodorsal ossicle (suborder Comatulidina).
