Cystiphylloides

Anthozoa - Cystiphyllida - Cystiphyllidae

Taxonomy
Mesophyllum (Cystiphylloides) was named by Chapman (1893) [Sepkoski's age data: D Gedi D Give Sepkoski's reference number: 422]. It is not extant.

It was reranked as Cystiphylloides by Merriam (1974), Hill (1981) and Sepkoski (2002).

It was assigned to Mesophyllum by Chapman (1893); to Cystiphylloidae by Merriam (1974); to Cystiphyllidae by Hill (1981); and to Rugosa by Sepkoski (2002).

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. W. Merriam 1974These are medium and large dendroid to phaceloid and solitary cystiphylloid Rugosa; indi- vidual corallites range from trochoid to cylindrical. The mature dissepimentarium, of medium width, is composed mostly of small- and medium-sized, rather uniformly globose dissepiments. The border between the tabularium and the dissepimentarium is rather well defined but not sharp; there is a change from small steep dissepiments to large axially inclined tabellae. The tabularium is medium wide to wide. Septa and septal spines or crests are commonly absent.
