DESCRIPTION

Irregularly branched, submassive or encrusting colony. Branches and fronds 5.6-9.4 mm thick, encrusting sheets 0.7-1.6 mm thick. Exozones indistinct. Autozooecia prismatic, growing for long distance along branch axis and bending gently to the colony surface. Autozooecial diaphragms common, thin, planar. Autozooecial apertures polygonal in tangential section. Cystiphragms abundant, densely spaced, constricting middle part of zooecia, about a half of their diameter. Mesozooecia few, polygonal. Autozooecial walls granular, 0.003 -0.005 mm thick in endozone; amalgamated, 0.02-0.03 mm thick in exozone. Acanthostyles few, small to moderate in size. Maculae consisting of macrozooecia, 0.80-0.95 mm in diameter.

COMPARISON

Homotrypa subramosa Ulrich, 1886 differs from H. callosa Ulrich, 1893 in larger autozooecial apertures (average aperture width 0.16 mm vs 0.14 mm in H. callosa ; measurements for H.callosa from Marintsch, 1998). Homotrypa subramosa Ulrich, 1886 differs from H.tuberculata Ulrich, 1893 in less abundant and smaller acanthostyles and in smaller autozooecial apertures (average aperture width 0.16 mm vs 0.20 mm in H. tuberculata ; measurements for H. tuberculata from Marintsch 1998).
