Belongs within: Nassellaria.
Contains: Dictyomitra.

The Stichocapsoidea are a group of radiolarians known from the Triassic to the present with their highest diversity in the Mesozoic (Afanasieva et al. 2005).

Characters (from Afanasieva et al. 2005): 4–15 or more segments. Segmentation indistinct, especially in apical part of test. Cephalis variously constructed. Test lacking apertural skirt and compressed aperturally. External apophyses, corresponding to spines D and L, if developed, representing costae in test walls. Pores arranged in transverse rows or irregularly, thickened. Walls may be spongy.
