Description In the original description Reuss (1874, p. 28) stated that the type specimens (1874/3/54 #4 and #5 = originals of the figures in Reuss, 1874, pl. 43, figs 4 and 5) lacked endothecal dissepiments (…‘Mangel an Endothecallamellen‘…). However, re-investigation of the type material revealed that endothecal dissepiments occur deeper in the corallum and there they are very abundant. [details]
Remark Stephanosmilia Reuss, 1974, represents a junior homonym of Stephanosmilia de Fromentel, 1862. [details]
