Taxon description

Klaamann, 1966b

Corallum compact, large. Rounded corallites of 1.7—2.OX 1.7—2.4 mm are very close to each other, forming small meshes of 4—6 corallites. However, short parallel chains of 5—9 corallites (fig. 22a) may also occur. Walls of corallites relatively thin — about 0.16—0.2 mm. Tabulae horizontal or slightly concave. The short septal spinules are zonally placed.
