Diagnosis Solitary, patellate. Septa compact, distinctly granulated laterally, arranged radially in unequal systems. Columella papillose, well-developed. No synapticulae. Endothecal dissepiments thick, vesicular. Wall parathecal-epicostal. [details]Remark Wells (1956, p. F381) stated that Gyroseris was a junior synonym of the genus Trochoseris Milne Edwards and Haime, 1849a. However, fundamental differences can be seen in the development of both the septa and the wall. In Trochoseris synapticulae are abundant, forming a synapticulothecal wall and the septa are subcompact to porous (septa are compact and synapticulae absent in Gyroseris) [details]
