Taxonomic remark Genus 'Neatretia' was established as Fischer & Œhlert (1891) didn't believe the genus name 'Atretia' (into which Cryptopora gnomon had been place) to be available, as there was an earlier genus named 'Atretium'. The name Atretia itself had been made as Cryptopora was thought to be unavailable due to the pre-existing genus Cryptoporus.
By the time of Thomson (1927) it was decided that termination differences in genus names were distinct enough (i.e., not considered homonyms) with Cryptopora thus being valid and Atretia and Neatreia being synonyms of Cryptopora. [details]
