Comparison Differs from Distichophyllia Cuif in the way of thickening of septal blades through accretion of the dissepiments to the septal sides, while in Distichophyllia the septal blades widened by deposition of lateral stereom organized into fascicles of fibers provided with axis (=lateral short trabeculae).

Diagnosis Solitary. Septa fusiform, originally thin and subsequently widened by accetion of small dissepiments. Original septal blade is zigzag, wavy or straight in cross section. Septal apparatus composed of septa of 5 size orders. Dissepiments vesicular, differentiated into small vesiculae covering the septa and larger ones forming the endotheca proper. [details]
Remark Two species are known. [details]
