Autozooids with smooth gymnocystal frontal shield perforated by one to several large foramina. Zooidal orifices with proximolateral indentations, and shallow excavations in the adjacent gymnocyst; proximal rim of orifice with median suture. No spines or avicularia. Maternal orifice usually slightly larger than autozooidal orifice, or obviously so; brooding internal, with a distal ovicelllike kenozooid with a central perforation; kenozooid extending to basal wall. Ancestrula with membranous frontal wall only, no spines. Interzooidal communications via basal pore-chambers. Type species: Lepralia foraminigera Hincks, 1883 , by original designation.
