Diagnosis Colonial. massive, meandroid. Gemmation intracalicinal. Individual corallites generally indistinct. Isolated corallites occasionally present. Collines generally tholiform. Calicinal series often ramified. Ambulacra present occasionally. Costosepta compact, nonconfluent or subconfluent. Columella trabecular, rudimentary or absent. Long, tabulate endothecal dissepiments abundant. Short, vesicular dissepiments occur in the vicinity of the septothecal to septoparathecal wall. Trabeculae simple and branching, 35–150 µm in size. [details]Remark The type material has been lost, but Morycowa (1997) provided an extended description of Eugyra and discussions on its systematic position based on original material found in the de Fromentel collection housed at the MNHN (Paris).
