Comparison From other genera of the family Microsolenidae it differs in a phaceloid growth form [details]Description The original description of the type species, and illustrations by Koby 1887: pl. 89: 5, 5a; description and illustrations of thin sections of D. delgadoi Koby, in Roniewicz, 1976, pl. 32, fig. 1a,b present a typical structural features of the genus. [details]
Diagnosis Phaceloid. Corallites covered with epitheca. Calices convex with a small axial pit. Septa numerous, regularly structurally perforated. Distal margin moniliform, inner margin with trabecular projections which make a small papillar columella; septal faces with pennulae coalescing into menianes. Endotheca of thin-walled dissepiments. Increase by intracalicular budding with lamellar linkages. [details]
Remark At least 16 species, including the type, were described from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. [details]
Type designation Subsequent designation by Wells (1936) [details]
