TYPE SPECIES. — Tubulosmilia regularis View in CoL n. sp.

DIAGNOSIS. — Phaceloid corallum with cylindrical corallites that seems to reproduce by extracalicular budding. Radial elements are free or joined, often wavy septa of fluctuating width with inner edge generally swollen. The first cycles of septa are generally so enlarged that they link together into a ring that more or less completely encloses the lumen and separate it from the interseptal chambers. Endotheca made of tabular dissepiments and wall probably parathecal. An epitheca s.l. wraps the corallites.

ETYMOLOGY. — Refers to the tube-like shape of the corallites.
