Comparison In thamnasterioid type of connections of corallites in the colony, it is similar to Campesteria Caruthers and Stanley, 2008, and Margarogyra Roniewicz, 2010. From the former it differs in reimaniphylliid type of the microstructure, with a midseptal zone containing small trabeculae, from the latter, with which it is nearer systematically, it differs in having lateral septal stereome poorly orgnized, with fascicles of fibers rarily presenting axes.
