Description (based on syntypes) Massive meandroid corallum with short to elongated valleys. No observed epitheca. Intracalicular increase producing sinuous valleys, rather radially arranged, at least at the margin of the colony. Valley septa not systematically present and distinct, collines without ambulacrum, rather tholiform, occasionnaly tectiform. Radial elements pennular, perforate, anastomosed, straight to curved, subequal. Distal edge moniliform with equal regular teeth. No palis. Radial symmetry disturbed by bilateral symmetry, elongation of valleys and anastomoses of septa. Endotheca not observed. Center of calices with a small fossa not very distinct in which small trabecules may be tightly arranged. Synapticulae present, especially near the collines. Wall probably synapticulothecal. [details]
