Description Small automobile cyclolitoid corallum with a circumoral budding producing a row of small calicular pit around a mother corallite. Slightly conical in profile. Ambitus subcircular or elliptical. No holotheca. Typically microsolenid microarchitecture of radial elements, regularly fenestrate, anastomosed or free , slightly flexuous. Synapticulae and endotheca present. No wall. Columella absent or parietal and rudimentary. [details]

Comparison Close of Semeloseris but the basal concavity and the elongation of the colony and relationships between daughter corallites are different. Differs from Dimorpharaea or Microsolena mainly by the downward growth that suggests an automobile faculty.
