                                    We investigate the stellar angular momentum of galaxies across the
Hubble sequence from the CALIFA survey. The distribution of CALIFA
elliptical and lenticular galaxies in the λRe -
ɛe diagram is consistent with that shown by the
Atlas3D survey. Our data, however, show that the location of
spiral galaxies in this diagram is significantly different. We have
found two families of spiral galaxies with particularly peculiar
properties: (a) spiral galaxies with much higher λRe
values than any elliptical and lenticular galaxy; (b) low-mass spiral
galaxies with observed λRe values much lower than
expected for their apparent flattening. We use these two families of
objects to argue that (1) fading alone cannot explain the transformation
of spiral to lenticular galaxies, and (2) that those low-mass spiral
galaxies are in fact dark matter dominated, which explains the unusually
low angular momentum.
