Autozooids subrectangular with the distal margin rounded and the proximal margin concave; smaller, irregular shaped zooids (?kenozooids) placed where anastomose branches fuses. Lateral walls thick. Cryptocyst well-developed and granular, most extensive proximally, up to one-third to half of the total length of autozooid, less extensive in older autozooids, frequently forming a thickened distal ridge. Opesia oval to rectangular, generally occupying more than half of total zooid length. Operculum lightly chitinized. Kenozooids situated on the outer margins of the branch and/or around the margins of the fenestrulae; oval opening usually placed in the centre of the kenozooid, less often distally. Multiporous septula present (13) in the distal wall, mural pore chambers (12) in the lateral walls. Spines, avicularia and ovicells absent. Early astogeny unknown.
