TYPE SPECIES. — Podosmilia horologium View in CoL n. sp.
DIAGNOSIS. — Solitary coral with regular hexameral septal arrangement modified in depth by the superimposition of a bilateral symmetry: the inner edges of septa appear podoid in depth in transverse section and two opposed first-order septa are longer than the four others. The orientation of the podoid tips creates a characteristic pattern. The septal microstructure looks stylophyllid but no septal detachment has been observed at the inner edge. No columella. Endotheca made of vesicular dissepiments. No synapticulae. Wall parathecal. An epitheca s.l. wraps the corallum.
ETYMOLOGY. — From greek πΟΔός (podós), refers to the foot-like aspect of septal inner edge in depth.
