Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. J. Sando 1983Stelechophyllum with corallite diameter 6 to 13 mm and 19 to 26 major septa of variable length that seldom join the columella and seldom extend into the dissepimentarium. Minor septa absent to poorly developed. Columella well developed. Dissepimentarium composed of 1 to 6 rows of small to large inflated dissepiments. Axial tabulae ordinarily broadly tent-shaped, spaced 2 to 4 in 1 mm. Peripheral tabellae poor-ly to well developed. Ratio of tabularium width to cor-allite diameter 0.5 to 0.6. Increase is peripheral.
