Measurements
ZL, 0.55–0.80 (0.648¡0.077). ZW, 0.28–0.39 (0.330¡0.049) (zooid n 57). OrL, 0.09– 0.10 (0.099¡0.003). OrW, 0.12–0.14 (0.126¡0.007) (orifice n 55).
Description
Colony encrusting, with autozooids arranged in irregularly branching uniserial series. Zooids distinctly longer than broad, rounded distally. Lateral walls low, perforate, separated from frontal wall by suture line. Frontal wall ( Figure 13D View Figure 13 ) slightly convex, finely tuberculate, with tiny marginal pores in distal half and tiny pores over entire surface near proximal end. Primary orifice ( Figure 13E View Figure 13 ) semicircular, with a broad, shallow sinus with straight proximal margin, separated from anter by a shelf on each side bearing a small condyle. Peristome ( Figure 13D View Figure 13 ) tall, smooth, cylindrical, flared slightly at top, sometimes eroded away; secondary orifice oval or circular. Oral spines and avicularia lacking.
