Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. W. Merriam 1972Laccophyllid corals with deep calice and strongly developed aulos (Fliigel and Free, 1962). Uparched tabulae either continue wall to wall through aulos, terminate in aulos, or abut as tabellae on contiguous tabulae. Quadrants in neanic growth stages defined by narrow fossulae.
