Comparison Comparisons with related genera, Oppelismilia Duncan and Molukkia Jaworski, was made by Frech 1964. Stylophyllopsis differs from Oppelismilia in thick and uneven septal spines; from Molukkia which has a disc-like corallum, it differs in elongated coralla. Stylophyllopsis is similar to Stylophyllum in having large and uneven septal spines, but differs from it in having, generally, compact septal blades. [details]

Description First descriptions of the microstructure, with illustrations, were given by Cuif 1972(1973):239-256, fig.14-22. Cuif analysed microstructural features of Rhaetian species preserved in aragonite. Description of morphological diversity within the genus was given by Roniewicz 1989:pls.38-40. [details]

Diagnosis Solitary and phaceloid. Increase intracalicular of variable pattern. Septal spines long and joined by stereome to form subcompact septal blades with large, isolated pores. The inner septal margin dissociated into septal spines. Distal edge coarsely denticulate. Wall epithecal. Columella papillar, composed of free septal spines. Endotheca formed by large, densely packed dissepiments. Microstructure homogeneous: skeleton is made of stereomal tissue composed of bundles of fibres.In the septal spines an axial rod or lamella is present. A secondary stereom layer joins the septal spines with each other and continues into the upper dissepimental layer. [details]

Remark Nearly 20 species are known in the Rhaetian and Lower Jurassic. [details]

Status Corals of this genus were described under the following generic names: Fungia Lamarck,1801; Thecophyllia Milne Edwards et Haime,1848; Lepiconus Stoppani,1857; Oppelismilia Duncan,1867; Phacelostylophyllum Melnikova,1972. [details]
