characterized by discoidal shells with no prominent sculpture, moderately large umbilicus, and goniatitic or ceratitic sutures with a trifid (three pronged) ventral lobe and few auxiliary lobes. The Daraelitidae are part of the prolecanitid superfamily Prolecanitoidea and are the direct descendants of the Prolecanitidae.
