Material.

BSPG 1947 XVI 30, 1947 XVI 31, 1947 XVI 32; two thin sections.

Remarks.

This material was described as Paramontlivaltia ruvida (Prever, 1909) by Löser et al. (2013c). This species is very similar to Trochophyllia aprutina and differs only by smaller corallite dimensions. It is possible that the species are synonyms.

Other occurrences.

Lower Aptian of the Central Tethys (Italy), lower Cenomanian of the Western Tethys (Spain, France).
