ReferenceDiagnosis
A. V. Koromyslova and P. V. Fedorov 2021Colony erect, bifoliate with flattened branches, initially encrusting some small object. Mesotheca straight or slightly sinuous, absent in zone of early astogeny; median rods lacking. Autozooecia tubular, inclined from mesotheca at ∼35–40°. Hemiphragms present, diaphragms absent. Autozooecial apertures each with lunarium at distal end, subcircular to oval, arranged in longitudinal-diagonal rows. Area between autozooecia and their apertures filled by vesicular tissue and traversed by longitudinal ridges. Heterozooecia, monticules, and other maculae, anastomosing tunnel structures, and communication pores absent.
