p. 414) and B. tiobilis (see Hasenbank, 1932, text-fig. 10 B; Hastings, 1939, p. 327). 

 Klugella differs from Beania in its interzooecial connexions which are not tubular, in 

 its avicularia, those of Beania being mobile and attached laterally, and in its marginal 

 kenozooecia. 



Dendrobeania differs from Klugella in its stalked, mobile avicularia, in the absence of 

 marginal kenozooecia, and the presence of marginal zooecia of distinctive shape, as in 

 Bugula, Bugidaria, etc.

Klugella seems to fit best into the Bicellariellidae as indicated by its resemblance to 

 Dendrobeania and Beania, in spite of its possession of marginal kenozooecia and, in the 

 genotype, more numerous rosette-plates. Levinsen (1909, p. 122) transferred K. buski 

 to the Bicellariellidae, but did not place it generically.
