Comparison In the structure of corallites: radial elements, columella and endotheca, the genus is similar to Comoseris d’Orbigny, 1849 but differs from it in a lack of collins. [details]
Description In Melnikova et al. 1993 there were described in detail and illustrated two Early Jurassic species (1993:5, pl.1, fig. 1-5), and one Cenomanian species (1993: 7, pl. 2: 1-6); one Late Triassic species was recognized among Frech's Spongiomorpha (Heptastylopsis) and identified with S.(H) ramosa Frech in Roniewicz 2010:xx, pl. fig.xx. [details]
Diagnosis Thamnasterioid - subcerioid. Corallites of small dimensions, densely packed, with monotrabecular columella. Radial elements of biseptal type built of a few trabeculae and bearing thick menianes; internal border with terminal pennulae. Dissepiments expanded, abundant. Synapticulae rodlike, rare, constituting incomplete wall between calices. Budding intra-and intercalicular. [details]
Remark The genus was recognized in the Early and Late Jurassic, and in the Cenomanian (Melnikova et al. 1993); stated in the Late Triassic (Roniewicz 2010); four species were described. These corals, for small corallite diameters and porous septa, are hardly recognizable as a separate taxon and has been misidentified with Actinaraea d’Orbigny, Microsolena Lamouroux, and Thamnasteria Lesauvage.
