Remarks. The specimen has smaller corallite dimensions compared to Brachycoenia composita . Since the type material of Brachycoenia composita is not available and a correct comparison is not possible, a new species cannot be established for this specimen. Other occurrences. Coniacian to Santonian of the Central Tethys ( Austria ).
