Dimensions. d=1.8–2.8 mm, juveniles are as small as 1.4 mm; c-c=1.8– 4 mm; s=20–29.

Description. Ramose or massive, with calices that are rounded or polygonal in outline; septa subcompact, thin, equal in thickness, and have delicate granulations laterally; septal arrangement is bilaterally; one set, consisting of about 6 septa, extends to center of corallite, where the septa might dissociate to form pali or trabecular prolongations, which join with the columella ; about 6 septa, forming the second set, reach three quarters the length of the oldest ones; youngest septa are nearly equal with the septa of the preceding set; pali or paliform lobes irregularly occur axial to septa of every set; columella spongy or made of thin, twisted segments; wall synapticulothecal, incomplete.

Type locality of species. Middle Miocene of Panama (La Boca Formation) .
