Remarks
In the original description of Stylocora, de Fromentel (1973, p. 430) already pointed out that his newly created genus showed very close affinities to Pleurocora. According to him, the only difference to Pleurocora was the lack of pali. However, because in the type material of Pleurocora the development of pali, while quite often preserved, can be indistinct/absent in some corallites, their synonmy is suggested. It should also be noted that, according de Fromentel, the type material of his new genus consists of only a fragment with one single corallite.
