Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. J. Sando 1983etalaxis with corallite diameter 6 to 6.5 mm and 13 to 14 major septa that closely approach the columella but seldom reach it. Major septa are attached to the corallite wall, except where impersistent lonsdaleoid dissepiments are present. Minor septa well developed. Columella ranging from a simple axial plate to a complex structure consisting of axial plate, vertical axial tabellae, and a few septal lamellae commonly rein-forced by stereoplasm to form a thick rod or netlike structure in transverse section. Dissepimentarium im-persistent, composed of a single row of dissepiments of varying sizes where present. Tabulae mostly incom-plete, horizontal, flat, concave, or convex, and irregular-ly spaced 0.25 to 1 mm apart. Tabularium width equals corallite diameter except where dissepiments are pres-ent. Mode of increase unknown.
