Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. J. Sando 1983Stelechophyllum with corallite diameter 4 to 17 mm and 15 to 22 major septa that most commonly extend across the tabularium from the columella and in-to the dissepimentarium. Minor septa well developed. Columella ordinarily very well developed. Dissepimen-tarium composed of 1 to 10 rows (ordinarily 5 rows) of small to large, commonly flattened dissepiments. Axial tabulae convex to tent-shaped, spaced 2 to 4 in 1 mm. Peripheral tabellae well developed. Ratio of tabularium width to corallite diameter 0.4 to 0.5. Increase is inter-mural(?).
