The Reticularioidea are a Devonian to Permian group of spiriferidan brachiopods with rounded cardinal extremities (Boucot et al. 1965).
Characters (Boucot et al. 1965, as Reticulariacea): Generally biconvex; equidimensional to slightly transverse; cardinal extremities rounded, resulting in rather short hinge line; fold and sulcus generally present, tending to be rather weak; macro-ornament generally lacking or consisting of low, weak plications; micro-ornament highly variable; pedicle valve interior with or without dental plates and median septum; brachial valve interior with striate cardinal process, with or without crural plates; shell substance impunctate.
