Dimensions. See Table 27.

Remarks. The genus was recently described in larger detail (Löser, 2016). The corallite series are short, as in the type species of the genus. The name Maeandraraea maeandroides cannot be applied to our material because the type series of this species consists of five syntypes that represent different species. A lectotype has not been designated.
