From editor or global species database
Comparison The family represents a group of corals of a specific microstructure: bundles of fibers which form septal spines and a stereomal lining of dissepiments. This feature differentiates the stylophyllids from corals of trabecular microstructure. [details]Diagnosis Solitary, phaceloid or colonial: cerioid or meandroid; increase intracalicular or lateral; radial elements composed of septal spines more or less fused with each other, free at the inner septal margin; endotheca vesiculous or tabuloid; microstructure composed of bundles of fibers. [details]
Remark The core group contains Stylophyllum Reuss, Stylophyllipsis Frech, Phacelostylophyllum Melnikova, Pamirophyllum Melnikova and Meandrostylis Frech [details]
