Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. W. Merriam 1973Phaceloid or solitary rugose corals with elongate subcylindrical mature corallites. Major septa thin or slightly thickened only near outer wall, ap- proaching or slightly withdrawn from axis. Tabularium wide, typically with closely spaced flat tabulae and tabellae and a narrow peripheral, proximally depressed zone bordering the dissepimentarium. Dissepimentarium having from a few to many columns of small steeply in- clined globose dissepiments. Outer wall thin and without stereozone. No fossula or indication of bilateral symmetry in mature stages. Septa slightly to moderately wavy, but well-developed angle-carinae not present in typical form. Lateral attachment outgrowths from wall characteristic of some species. Five or six reproductive offsets developed marginal to the calice.
