Comparison From morphologically similar Latimeandra vogelsangi Eck from the Upper Muschelkalk, it differs in meandroid-thamnasterioid colony with shallow calices distally having no traces of wall, and in having a low number of septa and less developed columella. [details]Diagnosis Meandroid-thamnasterioid, series short with distinct or subdistinct corallites; increase intracalicular with indirect linkages; wall rarely observed on the colony surface; radial elements compact, nonconfluent, subconfluent, rarely confluent, composed of fairly large trabeculae ( (diameter ca. 100-160 micrometers) arranged in one asymmetrical divergent system; distal septal margin covered with large, rounded denticles, inner margin with trabecular projections, septa faces with pennules and menianes with granulated edges, septal surface with longitudinal rows of fine granules; columella trabecular, endotheca of extended dissepiments.
