Zeuglopora Maplestone, 1909: 272 .— Canu and Bassler, 1929:

510.— Harmer, 1957: 755.

Type species. Zeuglopora lanceolata Maplestone, 1909 (original designation).

Description. Colony similar to Flabellopora , ligulate, apparently composed of 2 laminae but in fact consisting of a pair of alternating and interdigitating expanses of frontally budded zooid series. Single or small groups of marginal zooids enlarged and prominent, forming a serrated edge, occasionally with enlarged avicularia. Orifices oval, with paired condyles forming a subtriangular antapical sinus; peristome tubular. A rounded adapical pore is present but ovicells are unknown. Avicularia usually small, rounded, with a bar but no ligula. Colony anchored by 1 or 2 roots, arising from lunate pores in the adapical region.

Remarks. Both Canu and Bassler (1929) and Harmer (1957) analysed the colony structure of Zeuglopora and maintained its distinction from Flabellopora .
