The Daraelitidae form a family in the ammonoid order Prolecanitida

Prolecanitida

The Prolecanitida are extinct ammonoid cephalopods with discoidal to thinly lenticular shells with goniatitic or ceratitic sutures and which retained the simple retrochoanitic siphuncle with backward extending septal necks. As typical for ammonoids the siphuncle is along the ventral margin...

 from the Upper Mississippian - Middle Permian characterized by discoidal shells with no prominent sculpture, moderately large umbilicus, and goniatitic or ceratitic sutures with a trifid (three pronged) ventral lobe and few auxiliary lobes.

The Daraelitidae are part of the prolecanitid superfamily Prolecanitaceae

Prolecanitaceae

Prolecanitaceae is a taxonomic superfamily of ammonites, fossil cephalopods. This is one of two superfamilies in the Prolecanitida. The other is the Medlicottiaceae....

 and are the direct descendants of the Prolecanitidae.

The Daraelitidae gave rise in the Middle Permian to the Xenodiscidae

Xenodiscidae

The Xenodiscidae are the earliest of the Ceratitida and comprise Middle and Upper Permian genera characterized by compressed, discoidal, evolute shells with rounded to acute venters and commonly with lateral ribs...

, the ancestral family of the mainly Triassic Ceratitida

Ceratitida

The Ceratitida is an order that contains almost all ammonoid cephalopod genera from the Triassic as well as ancestral forms from the Upper Permian, the exception being the phylloceratids which gave rise to the great diversity of post Triassic ammonites....
