resembles B. coartata. It differs, however, in that the zoarium 

 is discoid and the zocecia arranged in regular, radiating rows. 

 B. scobinula is perhaps a close ally, but in this the zocecia are 

 longer and less crowded. 



The Cainozoic form which most resembles this species is that 

 figured by iteuss as Tiibutipora echinulata\ but an enlarged figure 

 of that species, which shows the zocecia, suggests doubts whether 

 it really belongs to this family at all.
