Diagnosis Colonial, pedunculated, flabelloid. Calicular series inclined or curved towards the base, in some cases the ends of the series meet or even pass each other. Costosepta compact, finely granulated laterally. Costae bifurcating and trifurcating. Columella lamellar, continuous. endothecal dissepiments few in number, vesicular. Wall septothecal, forming a stereozone. [details]Remark Bendukidze (1956, 1965) studied the stages of ontogeny of specimens of Diploctenium lunatum (Bruguiere). She concluded that skeletal elements and their dimensions in this species are directly dependent upon environment. Moreover, within the same specimen each stage of ontogeny closely corresponds to a different nominal species of Diploctenium. These results completely agree with investigations on ontogenetical stages of specimens of Diploctenium from the Santonian of Austria (Gosau Group) carried out by Baron-Szabo (2003). Based on the results of these investigations it can be concluded that stable specific characters are reflected in the density of septa and number of septal orders in relation to the width of the calicinal series.
