Diagnosis Colonial. Gemmation intramural, linear, polystomodaeal, forming corallites arranged uniserially, contorted. free laterally. Septa exsert, numerous, compact, non-dentate on upper margins, granulated laterally. Costae bifurcating, distinct to base. Columella lamellar, discontinuous, attached to processes from inner edges of septa. Endothecal dissepiments vesicular and subhorizontal. Wall septothecal with parathecal stereozone. Multi-lamellar epitheca often present. [details]Remark Wells (1937, p. 73) created this genus to separate Upper Cretaceous species formerly placed in Rhipidogyra Milne Edwards and Haime, 1848. According to him the latter is confined to the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous and forms, together with several contemporary genera, a separate family group. Later investigations by several authors (e.g. Alloiteau, 1952a; Roniewicz, 1976) confirmed this separation by assigning Strotogyra to the meandrinid group and creating the suborder Rhipidogyrina using Rhipidogyra as the nominate form. The original description of Strotogyra Wells was later revised by M. Beauvais (1982, vol. 1, p. 191). [details] |
