Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| G. K. Melnikova and E. Roniewicz 2020 | The corallum is short. The septa are thick at
the wall and attenuate toward the center. Seven septa S1 subequal in length and thickness extend to the corallite center, the septa S2 of similar number are shorter, the septa S3 are about a half of the radius in length; the septa S4 are the shortest and sporadic. The dissepiments are differentiated into tabuloid ones at the central part of the corallum, and vesicular at its peripheral part. The wall is thin, epithecal. |
