Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R.C. Baron-Szabo 2021 | Colonial, massive, hemispherical, cerioid. Budding due to ‘Taschenknospung’. Calices generally circular, embedded in vesicular dissepimental (coenenchymal) structures. Inner wall generally parathecal, often thickened by stereozone. Small number of corallites united laterally, covered by a shared wall. Radial elements (septa or costosepta) always compact and consist of simple trabeculae arranged in a single series or in a divergent system. S1 septa thicker than younger ones with columellar septum being the most dominant. Distal septal margins with very
delicate denticles, sometimes subobsolete or granular. Lateral septal surfaces ornamented by granulae, which can be very delicate and are aligned parallel to the distal margin. Lonsdaleoid septa present or absent. Intertrabecular distance ranging between 60 and 150 μm in septa. Endotheca generally abundant and vesicular, sometimes tabulate (axial region of the corallite). Pachythecal external wall thick. This genus has characteristics of the genera Amphiastrea and Aulastrea. |
