Stylosphaeridae is a family of radiolarians in the order Spumellaria. According to the original description by Ernst Haeckel, members of the family have a spherical central capsule within a fenestrated spherical siliceous shell, with two radial spines opposite in one axis. They are solitary. i.e. not associated in colonies.[1]
