Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
E. Di Martino and P. D. Taylor 2012Colony encrusting, multiserial, unilaminar. Autozooids small, distinct, rounded polygonal or oval, longer than broad, separated by deep furrows. Gymnocyst convex, narrow, best developed proximally. Cryptocyst extensively developed, depressed and flat, finely granular, bounded by a salient mural rim, forming
pear-shaped ridge together with distal rim of opesia, perforated by two small circular or reniform lateral opesiules situated about midway along cryptocyst. Opesia semicircular. Oral spines present, variable in number. Ovicell hyperstomial, globular, prominent and smooth, resting on proximal gymnocyst of distal zooid and indented its mural rim. Avicularia interzooidal, vicarious or absent. Pore chambers placed distally and distolaterally; pore windows oval. Ancestrula having the appearance of a small astogenetically mature autozooid but with a different number of spines, budding a single autozooid in a distal location. First generation of zooids transitional in size between ancestrula and astogenetically mature zooids
