Fasciculophyllum Thomson and other genera of the “Zaphrentis” omaliusi group of Carboniferous corals

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

British Carboniferous corals belonging to the Fasciculophyllum omaliusi group are usually erroneously referred to the genera Zaphrentis Rafinesque & Clifford and Densiphyllum Dybowski. None of the species usually attributed to Densiphyllum is congeneric with that genus: some, such as D. bradbournense Wilmore, have been shown to belong to the genus Rhopalolasma Hudson (Hudson, 1936, and in press); for others, such as D. rushianum Vaughan, a new genus, Rotiphyllum, is here erected.
