Comparison From other genera in the family Heterocoeniidae it differs in thamnasterioid colony. In general type of the microstructure of septa, it is similar to thamnasterioid Triassic genus Oedalmia Cuif, from which it differs in well individualized small trabeculae which form the midseptal zone, and in smaller fascicles of fibers of the lateral septal stereome. [details]Diagnosis Thamnasterioid coral lacking columella; septa with inner margin smooth, septa sides with regular granules; endotheca dissepimenta; midseptal zone composed of well individualized, small trabeculae; lateral septal stereome organized into centered fascicles of fibers.
