Description Two European species, Pamirastraea major (Frech) and P. profunda (Reuss) were well described and figured in Frech 1890, Cuif 1976 and Roniewicz 1989. Melnikova’s 1975 description of Pamirian material, under the homonymous name of P. profunda (Reuss) concerns a new species. [details]
Diagnosis Colonies cerioid. Budding by symmetrical division into two, rarely three calices. Septa compact. Trabeculae arranged in monolinear series, from vertical at the periphery, becoming progressively inclined toward the corallite axis. Lateral ornamentation granular. Wall in microstructural continuity with septa, built of vertical trabeculae ordered in a monolinear series. [details]
