Classification

Diagnosis

Colonial, plocoid, cerioid deeper in corallum. Budding extracalicinal. Corallites monocentric. Costosepta, generally compact, porous peripherally, nonconfluent, dentate laterally. Anastomosis occasional. Synapticulae abundant. Columella absent. Endothecal dissepiments sparse. Wall synapticulothecal, incomplete.

Remarks

Alloiteau (1957, pl. 2, fig. 6, pl. 11, fig. 2, pl. 19, fig. 10) documented the new form Brachycaulia jacobi as the type species of his new genus Brachycaulia without providing any description. Because Beauvais (1982, vol. II, p. 227) was the first author to have given a proper description of this genus, according the ICZN, he has to be considered the author of this taxon.
