Description Morphology and microstructure described in Cuif 1975:85 and additional observations by Roniewicz 1989:85 concern the type species having solitary growth form. Another morphology represent phaceloid coral described by Zankl 1969:text-fig.22, and Melnikova 2001:57,pl.18,fig.1a,b. [details]

Comparison The genus is distinguishable for its purely meniane-bearing septa with consequently alternating position of the menianes, and in septal stereom devoid of axial organization of fibres. [details]Description Morphology and microstructure described in Cuif 1975:85 and additional observations by Roniewicz 1989:85 concern the type species having solitary growth form. Another morphology represent phaceloid coral described by Zankl 1969:text-fig.22, and Melnikova 2001:57,pl.18,fig.1a,b. [details] Diagnosis Solitary with tendency to form incipient thamnasterioid colonies with increase intracalicular with lamellar linkage between centers, and phaceloid coralla. Septa compact, internal edge with projections; lateral faces with continuous, subhorizontal, smooth menianes occuring alternately on two septal sides. Dissepiments vesicular small, abundant. Columella lacking or rudimentary, made of septal projections. Mid-septal zone from wavy to zigzag; lateral septal stereom differentiated into fibre bundles lacking any axial organization. [details] Remark Two or three species: solitary type species and one or two phaceloid species : Alpine and Pamirian ones [details] |
