Description Solitary horn-shaped corallum. No costae. Corallite subcircular in outline. Radial elements are compact free cuneiform mostly curved in relation to the bilateral symmetry. A thick cardinal septum. Distal edge of septa deep, steeply inclined smooth and thin, inner edge and lateral faces smooth, , no palis. Strong bilateral symmetry. Two zoned endotheca with an external marginarium made of large vesicles and inner dissepiments. No columella, no synapticulae, wall probably pachythecal. [details]
