Description
Corallum small, branched, corallites irregularly angulate in cross section and relatively thin-walled in axial zone, compressed and thick-walled at periphery where they lie nearly perpendicular to the surface, calices oval, semilunar or irregularly curved, without jutting lip, with ?one to several septal ?laminae, pores large, numerous, commonly on same level in neighboring corallites, tabulae complete, horizontal, increase longitudinal by conjunction of ?laminae with opposite wall or axially with second lamina [SHARKOVA, 1971, p. 58].
References
Three indispensable indexes of Paleozoic coral genera with relevant lists of publications are: Lang, Smith, \& Thomas, 1940; Flügel, 1970; and Ivanovskix, 1973, with supplement by Bogoyavlenskaya, 1976. For Rugosa only there are also Cotton, 1973, with Supplement I published in 1974 and Supplement II in 1976, and Ivanovskiy, 1976. References to senior homonyms that have been applied to organisms other than Paleozoic corals are not included in this list, but those dated before 1966 may be found in contracted form in S. A. Neave, Nomenclator Zoologicus (1939-1975, $7 \mathrm{v} .$, Zoological Society, London). A list of full names of serials abbreviated below is to be found at the end of the Editorial Preface.
