Diagnosis Monoecious Agalmatidae with colony linear; pneumatophore with red apex and an apical pore; red/orange-rust pigment spots along stem and at proximal end of gastrozooids and some other zooids; nectosome dorsal; many nectophores when mature, with incomplete upper-lateral ridges, complete lateral and vertical-lateral ridges; nectosac of nectophore with axial processes, straight upper and lower radial canals and sinuous lateral radial canals; definitive tentilla of gastrozooid tentacles unicornuate, with incomplete involucrum and single terminal filament. Male and female gonodendra characteristically in pairs on either side of the palpons, alternating sides (Totton, 1965; Dunn and Wagner, 2006).Two types of bracts, one rectangular and more prismatic, other elongate with three distinct distal cusps; often with additional ectodermal cell patches.
