DESCRIPTION
Solitary, conical coral, strongly infundibuliform with sharp calicular edges, circular in outline. Radial elements are subcompact, straight, free septa with distal edge ornamented with regular small trabecular teeth. Lateral faces hold pennulae with pennular rims curved upward. Radial symmetry. No columella or maybe a weak parietal papillose one in depth. Endotheca and synapticulae not observed. Peripheral wall of undefined nature. An epitheca s.l. wraps the corallum.
Calicular diameter: 22 mm – Number of septa: approximately 216 – Septal density: 7 per 2 mm – Trabecular density 6 per 2 mm.
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
This specimen is distinct among the species of the genus Proleptophyllia because of its very specific shape and the regularity of its septal apparatus.
