Comparison From Distichophyllia it differs in septal microstructure with the mid-septal zone straight or ondulated, not zigzag, in lateral septal stereome poorly organized, and in having lonsdaleoid septa. In simple epithecal wall it differs from Cuifia which is charactrized by a peculiar structure of the wall showing wall segments (Roniewicz 1996). [details]Description Well described and illustrated in Cuif 1975. Additional illustration in Roniewicz 1996:pl.4,fig.6, showing wall region in the topotype specimen of C. regularis. [details] Diagnosis Solitary with pellicular wall. Radial elements costoseptal; septa of the highest size order frequently lonsdaleoid in type. Dissepiments vesicular, abundant. Mid-septal zone straight or ondulated. [details] Remark Only the type species has been described. [details] |
