Diagnosis Like Cryptocoenia but occurrence of pentameral symmetry of septa is not restricted to juvenile corallites. [details]Remark Recent re-study of the holotype of the type species of Cryptocoenia d'Orbigny (Cryptocoenia alveolata [Goldfuss]) by Baron-Szabo (2002, p. 184, pl. 127, fig. 5) revealed that it showed the following characteristics: Colonial, massive, plocoid; gemmation extracalicinal; costosepta compact, confluent to nonconfluent, arranged in varying systems (in juvenile stages 5 and 6; in adult stages 6 and 8), finely granulated laterally; columella absent; wall parathecal to septoparathecal; endothecal dissepiments vesicular to subtabulate. Because in Pentacoenia all these characteristic are present with the exception that the occurrence of pentameral symmetry of septa does not seem to be restricted to juvenile corallites, Pentacoenia is considered a subgenus of Cryptocoenia.
