Genus Retiophyllia Cuif, 1967

Type species: Retiophyllia frechi nom. nov. Roniewicz, 1989 ( Thecosmilia fenestrata sensu Frech, 1890 non Reuss, 1854) Rhaetian, Northern Calcareous, Alps, Austria.

Remarks.—The species assigned herein to Retiophyllia represent a wide spectrum of septal and endothecal morphologies. Four of them resemble Rhaetian corals from the fenestrata −, norica −, and multiramis −groups. The fifth species, R. vesicularis sp. nov., differs from all other species in having a small number of septa and convex axial dissepiments.
