. Bulletins of American paleontology. 26 Bulletin 356. Text-figure 14.—Transverse thin sections showing diagnostic characteristics of three mcandroid genera of the family Faviidae in the Neogcne to Recent of the Caribbean region. The three genera can be distinguished by the structure of the columella and wall. Colpophyllia has a discontinuous, lamellar columella and a double parathecal wall; Diploria has a continuous, spongy columella and a single septothecal wall; Manicina has a continuous, spongy columella and a septothecal wall that is reinforced by dissepiments. <• = columella, d = endo
