Dimensions. d (min)/d (max)=0.8–1; s/mm: 14–20/ 5 in peripheral areas, 15–22/5 around calicinal pit.

Description. Solitary, cunnolitid corallum circular or slightly elliptical in outline; septa densely packed, very irregularly developed; septa density slightly higher around calicinal pit

Remarks. In having a corallite that is nearly circular or circular throughout ontogeny (measurements were taken from type material and illustrations of type material), the specimens examined, as listed in the synonymy, closely correspond to C. cancellata , but they are distinguished from C. cancellata by having a lower septal density throughout the corallum.

In the size and development of the corallum the specimens of Cyclolites conoidea described by Stoliczka (1873, p. 48) correspond well with C. scutellum . However, because in the original description no information is given about the number or density of septa, its synonymy with the latter is doubtful.
