Description Solitary subcylindrical corallum. Striated epitheca, no costae. Radial elements compact, free, cuneiform, curved according to the bilateral symmetry to sinuous. Distal edge steeply inclined with very small subhorizontal equal teeth or ridges. No palis. Strong bilateral symmetry marked by a cardinal septum longer and thicker than others. Two zoned endotheca with a wide marginarium made of big vesicles and an inner endotheca made of thin numerous and tight dissepiments. No columella, no synapticulae, Multilamellar thick pachythecal wall. [details]
