TYPE SPECIES. — Epismilia liasica Fromentel & Ferry, 1865 ( Fromentel & Ferry 1865: 53, pl. 15, fig. 3), by monotypy.

REMARK

Although the genus is very close to Stylophyllopsis Frech, 1890 , it seems to differ by a well-defined bilateral symmetry marked by the elongated fossa and the curvature of lateral septa, and by a less apparent stylophyllid microstructure (detached septal spines are sometimes absent) giving sometimes an appearance close to Coryphyllia Cuif, 1975 to some species of the genus (the microstructure allows the differentiation of the two groups).
