Genus
Calamophylliopsis
Alloiteau, 1952
TYPE
SPECIES. —
Calamophyllia flabellata
de
Fromentel, 1861
, by monotypy.
REMARK
The generic assignation depends on the badly established interconnections with the genus
Rhabdophyllia
Milne Edwards & Haime, 1851
that differs from
Calamophylliopsis
by the lack of epitheca. The variability of this character is not well established and we maintain here the genus
Calamophylliopsis
for our specimens with epitheca, awaiting a study of variability.
