COMPARISON
Xenotrypa Bassler, 1952 differs from Hennigopora Bassler, 1952 in acanthostyles which do not significantly indent into the autozooecia, whereas acanthostyles in Hennigopora strongly indent autozooecia. Furthermore, vesicles usually completely isolate autozooecia in Xenotrypa , whereas the autozooecia in Hennigopora often share a common wall.
