Diagnosis
Colony erect. Autozooids elongate, with cryptocystidean wall, perforated by pseudopores except for an area proximal to the orifice. Orifice with well-defined anter and poster, and condyles. Peristome present. Ovicell hyperstomial, not closed by the operculum, prominent, with an imperforate calcified entooecium, and a mostly membranous ectooecium. Only a basal rim of ectooecium is calcified. Interzooidal communication through uniporous mural septula. Avicularia adventitious, on the margins of the frontal wall of autozooids, usually proximolateral to the orifice, paired or single, directed outwards.
Etymology
Acorania [a-ko-rá-nja] (feminine) derives from Acorán [a-ko-rán], one of the names (the easiest to pronounce and write) of the supreme god of the Guanches, the original people of the Canary Islands.
