Description Phaceloid or dendroid corallum with corallites cylindrical to elongated in outline. Epitheca absent. Subequal regularly granulated roof shaped costae. Intracalicular increase. Radial elements are compact, free, bicuneiform, straight to tortuous costosepta. Septal part highly unequal in thickness. Distal edge not observed, inner edge with detached trabeculae that form a papillose columella. Lateral faces with strong granules, no pali. Microstructure unknown. Hexameral symmetry not deciphered, bilateral symmetry linked to the elongation of the calice during the intracalicular budding. Endotheca not visible on the syntype , columella papillose, synapticulae absent, parathecal wall. [details]

Status Erroneously put in synonymy with Calamophyllia in Vaughan and Wells 1943 and Wells 1956

Description Phaceloid or dendroid corallum with corallites cylindrical to elongated in outline. Epitheca absent. Subequal regularly granulated roof shaped costae. Intracalicular increase. Radial elements are compact, free, bicuneiform, straight to tortuous costosepta. Septal part highly unequal in thickness. Distal edge not observed, inner edge with detached trabeculae that form a papillose columella. Lateral faces with strong granules, no pali. Microstructure unknown. Hexameral symmetry not deciphered, bilateral symmetry linked to the elongation of the calice during the intracalicular budding. Endotheca not visible on the syntype , columella papillose, synapticulae absent, parathecal wall. [details]

Remark On the syntype sample, there is an independent fragment of colony, which is similar but completely smooth, without costae. Then, the relationship with Calamophylliopsis should be investigated more thoroughly. Eight nominal species in Jurassic, 20 in Cretaceous [details]

Status Erroneously put in synonymy with Calamophyllia in Vaughan and Wells 1943 and Wells 1956 [details]
