The part of results represents the outcome of research shined in doctoral work and the book of the author on the Heliolitida of the Upper Ordovician of South Tien Shan. The revision and correlation of the complexes of the Heliolitida of the Upper Ordovician and the analysis of taxonomical criteria, by which the author was guided at monograph research, are spent for the first time.Due to the ambiguity of the opinions of different researchers concerning a rank, an origin, the phylo-morphogenesis of the Heliolitida and construction of their systems, evidences are provided in favor of the sights of the author generated as the result of long-term studying of named group of corals.
