Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. J. Sando 1983Cerioid corals with tabular to hemispherical growth form. Septa of two orders. Major septa thin, ordinarily extending across tabularium to columella but discontinuous or absent in dissepimen-tarium. Minor septa absent to variably developed. Col-umella ordinarily a simple, smooth or serrated, strong, continuous axial rod or plate that may have been derived from one or more septa, but thysanophylloid variants are known. Tabularium ordinarily consisting of an axial series of bell-shaped to tent-shaped complete tabulae resting one upon the other and a weak peripheral series of horizontal or inclined, concave-upward tabellae ("split tabulae" of Soviet authors). Dissepimentarium lonsdaleoid, commonly showing traces or crests of discontinuous septa in transverse section. Increase ax-ial, peripheral, and intermural.
