Previously they were taken to include all such species, but genetic studies have shown that they are not all closely related, and several superfamilies have been moved to the orderAllogromiida . The remaining forms are sometimes divided into three orders: the Trochamminida and Lituolida (organic cement) and the Textulariida "sensu stricto" (calcareous cement). All three are known as fossils from theCambrian onwards.
