Diagnosis

Colony encrusting, multilaminar. Autozooids closely packed, smooth cryptocystal frontal calcification with sparse marginal pores. Primary orifice with medio-proximal sinus and stout, rounded condyles; dimorphic, broader than long in brooding zooids, longer than broad, with twice the area, in sparse non-brooding zooid. No oral spine. Primary orifice enveloped and hidden by a deep, tubular peristome incorporating a medio-proximal adventitious avicularium, and closely associated with the ectooecial rim of the ovicell. Vicarious avicularia not observed. Ovicell spherical, prominent, the ectooecium entirely membranous frontally, exposing smoothly calcified, imperforate entooecium.
