Family Antiphyllidae Ilina, 1970.

Diagnosis ( Fedorowski, 2012a): Small, solitary, non-dissepimented corals with cardinal septum located on convex side of corallite; early ontogeny rotiphylloid; cardinal septum shortened late in ontogeny or only on calice wall; counter septum commonly elongated, never shortened; stereocolumn of early ontogeny often replaced by free axial area in maturity.

Remarks: Opposed to Hill (1981), Weyer (1975) and in consequence Fedorowski (1987a) did not recognise a family Antiphyllidae Ilina, 1970, but separated the subfamilies Hapsiphyllinae Grabau, 1928 and Antiphyllinae Ilina, 1970 within the Hapsiphyllidae Grabau, 1928 . However, Fedorowski (2009a, 2009b) and in his following papers treated the Antiphyllidae as an independent family. An emended diagnosis, differing from Hill (1981) and based on the main characters of the subfamily diagnosis by Fedorowski (1987a) was finally given in Fedorowski (2012a).
