Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| S. Niko and M. Badpa 2021 | Coralla cerioid, variable in growth shape, exhibiting subcylindrical, bulbous, to fanshaped, small for the subfamily and surrounded by
strong holotheca; the largest coralla (NMNS PA20010) has 49 mm in maximum diameter and 41 mm in maximum height; growth ridges developed on holotheca. Corallites prismatic to subprismatic; except for peripheral corallites that indicate fan-shaped, subtrapezoidal to sub-polygonal transverse sections; most corallites have polygonal sections with 3–9 sides; diameters of corallites are 1.9–7.6 mm. Intercorallite walls thin to moderate, 0.08–0.23 mm, indicate sinuations in longitudinal section, and differentiated into median dark line and stereoplasm; microstructure of stereoplasm is rectradiate fibers; mural pores relatively rare, occur on corallite faces as mid-wall pores and at corners as angle pores; diameters of mural pores are relatively large, 0.3–0.4 mm; no distinct septal spine observable; tabulae well-developed; incomplete tabulae with dissepimental and uparched profiles are most common, but complete ones not rare; there are 3–10 tabulae in corallite length 5 mm; some tabulae thickened, attaining 0.5 mm. |
