Description Phaceloid/dendroid corallum with cylindrical corallites covered by costae. Epitheca s.l. of a variable development cover the costae according to species. Corallite circular to strongly distorted by the intracalicular increase. Radial elements are compact, unequal, bicuneiform costo-septa. They are free or occasionally joining near the central fossa. They are straight or curved or bent according to the intracalicular increase. Distal edge with regular teeth, lateral faces covered by granules and carinae organized in a montlivaltid microstructural and microarchitectural bauplan. No palus. Hexameral symmetry generally difficult to decipher because of the bilateral symmetry produced by the intracalicular increase. Abundant endotheca made of vesicular dissepiments. No columella in relief but inner edges of septa may join together in depth of the fossa, No synapticula. Parathecal wall. [details]

Comparison There are transitional forms with other solitary (Montlivaltia) and colonial (Amblophyllia, Complexastrea, Latiphyllia) Montlivaltid morphogenera (see Lathuilière 1996). The name Thecosmilia has been attributed to many other phaceloid coral genera that do not have the montlivaltid septal structure. For this reason many Triassic and Liassic “Thecosmilia” have been reassigned to other genera such as Retiophyllia, Volzeia, Phacelostylophyllum, etc… [details]
