W. J. Sando 1983Cerioid-fasciculate Acrocyathus? with corallite diameter 13 to 20 mm and 25 to 27 major septa that extend to the columella but do not extend into the dissepimentarium. Minor septa well developed, con-tratingent. Columella seemingly simple to complex, ab-sent in some corallites. Dissipimentarium composed of 1 to 4 rows of dissepiments of varying sizes. Tabulae com-plete, flat to conical, and spaced 0. 75 to 1 mm apart. Ratio of tabularium width to corallite diameter about 0.5. Mode of increase unknown.
