Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. M. Pandolfi 1985Corallites are polygonal, and 3.4 mm in mean diameter. Walls are straight or slightly curved and 0.2 mm thick. Mural pores are from 0.15-0.3 mm in diameter, and occur abundantly in both corallite walls and corners. Pores are smaller and more abundant in the corallite corners, where they number 7-8 in 5 mm, than in the corallite walls. Tabulae may be straight, slightly sagging or domed, or mar ginally deflected. Septa are absent.
