Diagnosis Colonial, massive, thamnasterioid. Gemmation intracalicinal. Septa compact, confluent, granulated marginally and laterally. Septa thickened by development of irregular multiple series of large trabeculae. Columella styliform. Synapticulae present. Endothecal dissepiments sparse. No wall between the corallites. [details]

Remark Similar to Thamnasteria but septa thickened by irregular multiple series of large trabeculae. By its macromorphological appearance, the genus Stereocoenia Alloiteau closely resembles the genus Paretallonia Sikharulidze. However, differences exist in the occurrence of confluent to nonconfluent septa, a well developed endotheca, and the presence of a synapticulothecal wall in the latter. [details]
