Comparison From exclusively solitary Stylophyllopsis it differs in, generally, phaceloid growth form which can transform into a subcerioid one. [details]Description The type species was described and figured in Frech 1890:49, Melnikova 1975:79, ext-fig.6, l.11,fig.2-7, and Roniewicz 1989:125,pl.39,fig.8; pl.40,fig.5-7. The species is characterized by a high intraspecific variability of the growth form. [details]
Diagnosis Growth form phaceloid. Increase lateral. Septa made of septal spines, subcompact. Endotheca from large, vesicular and/or tabuloid dissepiments. Epitheca. [details]
Remark Three species are known from the Triassic. [details]
Status Species of this genus were described under generic names of Stylophyllum Reuss,1854, Lepiconus Stoppani,1857, Stylophyllopsis Frech,1890. [details]
