Circumscription and nomenclature

Because the superasterids are unranked, the name does not denote a fixed Linnaean category such as subclass or superorder. The capitalized form Superasteridae belongs to phylogenetic-nomenclature usage, whereas the lowercase “superasterids” follows APG IV's convention for informal clade names.
