Comparison From the most close Stylophyllum Reuss, 1854, the genus differs in thin septal spines and perfectly tabular endotheca. [details]
Description Recently well described and illustrated in Roniewicz and Michalik 2002:155,fig.5.3a-e, 5.4a,b. [details]
Diagnosis Solitary. Septa thin, built of spines of equal thickness, subhorizontal at the wall and rapidly changing growth vertically upwards. A large axial space is filled with vertical septal spines. Wall thick. Endotheca built or rare, thin, horizontal tabulae. The coralla attain up to 18 mm in diameter at 80 septa. [details]
Remark Up to now three species have been described: Carnian P. praenuntians (Volz, 1896); Rhaetian P. bortepense (Melnikova, 1972) and P. ulfati Melnikova, 2001. The following data in Melnikova 2001 concerning this genus: the authors and dates of publication, volume of the periodical, and the authorship of the generic name, are misleading. [details]
Status Originally, the type species was assigned by Volz, 1896, p. 87 to Stylophyllum Reuss, 1854 [details]
