REMARK

Attributed by Beauvais (1986) to the sub-family Pachycoeniinae M. Beauvais, 1977, considered after as synonym of Heterocoeniidae Oppenheim, 1930 that are described as colonial except Hexasmiliopsis Löser, 2008 . The genus was moved byStolarski (1996) into his new family Gardineriidae , revision that is not recognized by Fedorowski (1997) nor by Löser (2008). The smooth lateral faces of septa and the septal spines detachments at the inner edge incite us to reattribute this genus to the Stylophyllidae .
