Description
EURYSTOMELLA LEVINSEN, 1909
Diagnosis
Colony encrusting, multiserial. Autozooids with smooth gymnocystal frontal shield perforated by one to several large foramina. Zooidal orifices with proximolateral indentations, and shallow excavations in the adjacent gymnocyst; proximal rim of orifice with median suture. No spines or avicularia. Maternal orifice usually slightly larger than autozooidal orifice, or obviously so; brooding internal, with a distal ovicelllike kenozooid with a central perforation; kenozooid extending to basal wall. Ancestrula with membranous frontal wall only, no spines. Interzooidal communications via basal pore-chambers.
Type species: Lepralia foraminigera Hincks, 1883, by original designation.
