Remark As previously indicated by Kuzmicheva (1987), the septal arrangment in Smilotrochus often shows a pseudo-dendrophyllid development (also compare Baron-Szabo, 2008, p. 80 ff.). In addition, their axial septal ends might terminate in claviform, paliform-like, and/ or irregularly trabecular extentions. Re-study of the (lecto-)type material of the type species of Parasmiliopsis (=the specimen that was described and illustrated by Alloiteau in 1957) by Baron-Szabo in 2009 revealed that it has skeletal structures that very closely correspond to those features. Therefore, its synonmy with Smilotrochus is suggested. Also see Remarks under Plesioparasmilia Alloiteau, 1952. [details]
