Description Morphology, corallum increase, microstructure based on the skeleton preserved in aragonite are described and illustrated in Cuif 1972:220-231, text-fig.1-13. Roniewicz 1989:117-122,pl.36,38 described and illustrated morphological diversity within the genus, described microstructure, and presented stereome made of bundles of fibres (pl.42,fig.4a-c).

Comparison Stylophyllum and Stylophyllopsis, genera of similar growth forms, having septa built of septal spines, differ from each other in the structure of septal blades: dissociated into septal spines in the former and compact, made of connected spines in the latter. [details]Description Morphology, corallum increase, microstructure based on the skeleton preserved in aragonite are described and illustrated in Cuif 1972:220-231, text-fig.1-13. Roniewicz 1989:117-122,pl.36,38 described and illustrated morphological diversity within the genus, described microstructure, and presented stereome made of bundles of fibres (pl.42,fig.4a-c). [details]
Diagnosis Solitary,phaceloid and pseudo-cerioid. Increase intracalicular of variable pattern. Septal spines free or incompletely joined to form rudimentary septal blades; septal spines originated in the wall or on dissepimental upper surface, vertically continuous or discontinuous (lonsdaleoid pattern). Endotheca vesicular or tabuloid. Microstructure of the whole skeleton is homogeneous: wall, septal spines and the upper dissepimental layer are composed of clearly distinguishable bundles of fibres that form stereomal layers continuing from one skeletal element to another. [details]
Remark About 10 species, phaceloid and cerioid growth forms inluding; compare Roniewicz 1989. [details]
