Diagnosis Solitary. Septal calcification centers extremely closely spaced but well separated. Thickening deposits usually in a form of scale-like deposits. Septal faces ornamented. Wall marginothecal in all ontogenetic stages, in some genera may -- in adult stages -- be developed as trabeculotheca or (Javania) septotheca. [details]Unreviewed
