T y p e: Holotype from Eisenstadt is deposited in the Natural History Museum Vienna under the number 1867.40.262 ( David and Pouyet, 1974).
M a t e r i a l: Altogether 3 colonies were studied from different sections.
D i a g n o s i s: Colony erect, bilaminar. Autozooecia elongate with large marginal areolar pores and sometimes also visible lateral walls. Apertures oval to circular with a large lyrula and a short peristome. Avicularia frontal, small always tapering proximally. No ovicells recognized.
R e m a r k s: The specimens are very similar to Cellepora trigonostoma REUSS, 1847 (and Smittina reticulata ( MACGILLIVRAY, 1842) – which were synonymised by David and Pouyet (1974) – with respect to the shape of the autozooecia, the presence of a lyrula and the position and size of the avicularia. Because no ovicell has been found, the exact determination of the specimens remains uncertain.
