| C. W. Merriam 1973 | "Compound rugose corals with a distinct inner wall of septal origin, separating the tabularium from a narrow peripheral dissepimentarium. The tabulae are mostly complete; dissepiments are flat to gently arched, forming a single series in each space bounded by the inner and outer walls and two adjacent septa." |
