Material examined. VMNH no. 70599.
Description. Colony encrusting to foliaceous; fragment found in this study was part of erect colony that had changed growth direction ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 A, C). Zooids typically dimorphic, all elongate, subrectangular proximally and rounded distally, but comprising only the smaller A-zooids in sole fragment found (the less-abundant larger Bzooids known to occur between them in other material). A-zooid orifice semicircular with smoothly calcified distal rim and shelf, and two condyles. B-zooid morphology similar, but opercular region enlarged, with deeper, lunate shelf. Sunken cryptocystal shelf in proximal half of all zooids, less granular than rim and with a few small pores, forming projection that covers polypide tube; with elongate opesiular grooves on either side to allow insertion of retractor muscles. Oculina specimen shown here was skeletal, but when alive both A and B zooids had strongly reinforced opercula edged with acute chitinous teeth. No avicularia. Brooding internal.
Remarks. On the basis of their unique reproductive and morphological characters, Ostrovsky (2013) created a new suborder and new superfamily Thalamoporelloidea to include the families Thalamoporellidae and Steginoporellidae . His revised classification is followed here.
Distribution. Western Atlantic: Florida, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. Brazil: Abrolhos Island, Bahia, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro; reported to have a broader subtropical-tropical distribution (Harmer 1900).
