ReferenceDiagnosis
E. Di Martino and P. D. Taylor 2012Colony encrusting, multiserial, unilaminar. Autozooids small, distinct, oval, slightly longer than broad, separated by deep furrows. Gymnocyst narrow. Cryptocyst extensively developed, depressed, flat and granular; mural rim salient, together with distal rim of opesia forming pear-shaped border around the cryptocyst and opesia; opesiules lacking. Opesia trifoliate, longer than wide, a pair of rounded indentations present in the proximal third. Oral spines present. Ovicell cribrate, ooecium represented by a pair of spine bases arranged parallel to the long axis of the zooid and bordering a depression on the proximal gymnocyst of the distal zooid.
