Original Diagnosis

« Small Actinoporella species with a rather large main axis (d = 150-450 µm / D = 300-700 µm) bearing close together whorls of 22-24 branches. Branch consisting of a vestibule followed by a phloiophorous gametophore, ending by an open pore (distal part of the branch not calcified), and by a very short lateral closed in its distal part. Slight calcareous sheath of sparite (recrystallisation sensu lato). » (GRANIER 1995).
