Comparison Related to Apocladophyllia Morycowa and Roniewicz 1990, from which it differs in well accentuated bilateral symmetry of septal apparatus and in a lack of external apophyses between the corallites. Genus Halysitastraea Geyer, 1968, similar in bilateral septal apparatus, has corallites partly connected by extracalicular skeletal apophyses into dismembered chains. No division of the calices was observed in this genus, so far. [details]

Description Description of the type species and discussion on generic content, with illustrations, were presented by Morycowa and Roniewicz, 1990. Recently, Lathuiliere 2000: provided a modern re-description, illustrations and a clarification of synonymy of Early Bajocian C. babeana (d’Orbigny), stratigraphically the earliest known species of the genus. [details]

Diagnosis Phaceloid; corallum from fascicular to arborescent. Increase by septal division with dichotomic forking of corallites. Symmetry radial-bilateral of the calice. Septa non-exsert, calicular edge sharp. Septal faces with sharp, small granules. Inner margin with regular, auricular denticles. Interseptal anastomosis present. Columella monotrabecular, frequently linked with one septum determining in this way the plane of symmetry of the septal appartus. Endotheca composed of tabuloid dissepiments and incomplete ring of peripheral dissepiments. Wall epithecal. Microstructure of septa trabecular, trabeculae of 30-80 µm in diameter. [details]

Remark In the literature concerning the Mesozoic, the number of corals named Cladophyllia is high (see Morycowa and Roniewicz, 1990). From this number no more than 10 species, ranging from the Bajocian to the Albian, show the features indicated in the generic diagnosis. [details]
