Diagnosis Colonial, phaceloid-reptoid. Gemmation extracalicinal. Corallites connected by tubes. Internal development of the tubes identical to images of the lower part of the corallites. Costosepta subcompact or fenestrate, beaded marginally, anastomosis frequent. Columella papillose or formed by elongated segments. Synapticulae abundant. Endothecal dissepiments vesicular to subtabulate. Wall synapticulothecal. Microstructure characteristic of the acrosmiliids. [details]

Remark Comparison. The new genus is closely related to the solitary form Acrosmilia, but differs from it in forming phaceloid colonies, with corallites united by reptoid tubes. [details]
