Plate 9: figs 7, 8

Material.

BSPG 1947 XVI 82, LFU 8336 SG015148 , 8336 SG015152 #1, 8336 SG015152 #2; four thin sections .

Dimensions.

(LFU 8336SG015152#2).

Description.

Plocoid to sub-phaceloid small colonies. Septa in a subregular hexameral symmetry. No wall.

Remarks.

The small colonies very probably represent a new genus within the family Heterocoeniidae , but the low number of specimens and their small size do not allow to establish a new species and genus.
