Type
species.
Zeuglopora lanceolata
Maplestone, 1909
(original designation).
Description
. Colony similar to
Flabellopora
, ligulate, apparently composed of 2 laminae but in fact consisting of a pair of alternating and interdigitating expanses of frontally budded zooid series. Single or small groups of marginal zooids enlarged and prominent, forming a serrated edge, occasionally with enlarged avicularia. Orifices oval, with paired condyles forming a subtriangular antapical sinus; peristome tubular. A rounded adapical pore is present but ovicells are unknown. Avicularia usually small, rounded, with a bar but no ligula. Colony anchored by 1 or 2 roots, arising from lunate pores in the adapical region.
Remarks
. Both
Canu and Bassler (1929)
and
Harmer (1957)
analysed the colony structure of
Zeuglopora
and maintained its distinction from
Flabellopora
.
