Remark As previously pointed out by Baron-Szabo (2002, p. 32; also compare Baron-Szabo, 2006, p. 34, pl. 6, figs. 2 and 4), that, in lacking synapticulae and septal pores, but having paliform structures and parathecal to septoparathecal wall developments, the type specimen of the genus Prodiploastraea Wells, 1934, differed from Wells’ original description, but instead closely agreed with Haldonia Duncan.
