Peronopora (in part) Nicholson, genus :\biidiculipora. IsM. i). 215. 



The early reference given refer to Monticulipora in its l)roa<ler sense ;it

 itation is due to the work fif T'Iricb. which pl;i<-es the genus on a delinite 

 basis with the f(tllowing in-incli)al diflerentiat ing characters: Cystiphragms 



o<-cur both in the peripheral and axial region: tiie walls of the z< i-i.-i and 



mesopores have a granulose strnctuic : acanthopores are usually nunieious
