Comparison Pseudocoeniopsis is close of Decacoenia but the peritheca is dissepimental in Decacoenia and subtabular in Pseudocoeniopsis the hierarchy of size order of septa is also more pronounced in Pseudocoeniopsis than in Decacoenia Pseudocoeniopsis is also close of Pseudocoenia but the development of inner edge of S1 in a parietal columella is a distinctive character for Pseudocoeniopsis.

Description Plocoid corallum, Peritheca with costal part of radial elements dissociated in trabecules in the peritheca. Costae vertically discontinuous at some distance of the wall. Corallite circular or subcircular in outline. Extracalicinal increase. Radial elements compact, free, bicuneiform, septal part rather straight but occasionally curved, unequal and well organised in size orders and radial symmetry. Inner edge of septa with trabecular lobes, lateral faces with rare strong granules. Microstructure trabecular. Endotheca and peritheca subtabular, columella parietal made by trabecular lobes of S1. No synapticula. Wall parathecal. Epitheca not observed . [details]
