Diagnosis

Reference	Diagnosis
C. W. Merriam 1972	Small solitary turbinate to subcylindrical rugose corals with narrow peripheral stereozone. Septa smooth, lamellar, dilated periaxially within a tubular stereoplasmic aulos. No dissepiments. Tabulae uparched strongly, complete or nearly so; axial parts horizontal within aulos, lateral segments steeply inclined to outer wall.
