Remarks. The genus Thalamocaeniopsis was described and the type material was depicted in Löser (2016). The present material differs slightly from the type material of Th. explanata by smaller dimensions. Because of its enlarged corallites the specimen shows a certain affinity to Latiastrea material from the same area, but corallite rows could not be found.
