Genus Reptadeonella Busk, 1884

Type species. Lepralia violacea Johnston, 1847

Diagnosis (modified from Cheetham et al. 2007). Colony encrusting. Autozooidal frontal shield with areolae extending entirely around periphery, centrally imperforate or with 1–3 rows of accessory areolar pores, and centrally placed single or paired spiramen. Accessory smaller areolar pore(s) proximal to orifice. Orifice more or less transversely elliptical to semicircular, the peristomial rim varying in height and thickness. Suboral avicularium present or absent, placed between spiramen and orifice, originating bilaterally from distolateral areolae, with rostrum distally directed and short condyles. Dimorphic avicularia sometimes present. Gonozooids, which may be morphological modified or not from autozooids, commonly swollen, with broader orifices than autozooids.
