Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. J. Sando 1983Stelechophyllum with corallite diameter 7 to 12 mm and 13 to 17 major septa that seldom extend into the dissepimentarium. Major septa join the col-umella or end a short distance from it or from the axis when a columella is absent. Minor septa weakly developed or absent. Columella weakly developed or ab-sent from some corallites. Dissepimentarium composed of a single row of large inflated dissepiments. Axial tabulae flat to strongly convex, spaced 0.5 to 1 mm apart. Peripheral tabellae absent or weakly developed. Ratio of tabularium width to corallite diameter 0.5 to 0.6. Increase is peripheral.
