Dimensions. d (min)/d (max)=0.73–0.97; s/mm: 8–15/ 5 in peripheral areas, 8–15/5 around calicinal pit.

Description. Solitary, free, nearly circular to oval in outline; septal density equal throughout the corallum.

Remarks. In having a corallite that varies substantially in outline throughout ontogeny (measurements were taken from type material and illustrations of type material), the specimens examined, as listed in the synonymy, closely correspond to C. tenuiradiata , but they are distinguished from C. tenuiradiata by having septal densities that are both equal and significantly lower throughout the corallum.

Type locality of species. Lower Santonian of France (Le Beausset, Var) .

Distribution. Cretaceous of France, Upper Cretaceous of Romania and Spain, Lower Turonian and Upper Campanian of Bulgaria, Coniacian-Santonian of Austria, Santonian-Campanian of Slovenia, Senonian of Germany, Campanian of Hungary, Campanian-Maastrichtian of Serbia, Maastrichtian of Iran (Neyriz),
