REMARK

The genus Omphalophylliopsis Beauvais, 1986 is based on one single, badly preserved specimen that differs from Proleptophyllia multiradiata Beauvais, 1986 described herein only by the general aspect of the corallum, more elevated. That is the reason why we decided to group Omphalophylliopsis Beauvais, 1986 and Proleptophyllia Alloiteau, 1952 .

Proleptophyllia Alloiteau, 1952 differs from Epistreptophyllum Milaschewitsch, 1876 by its septal structure with more developed and regular pennular ornamentation and a deep axial fossa that sometimes shows a weak papillose columella in depth, made by trabecular projections.
