Part G (1983)<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Zoarium dendroid, jointed, branching at ends of segments only. Individual segments straight or slightly curved, segment diameters approximately 0.3 mm, diameters usually constant between joints except for terminal enlargement at joint surfaces. Segment cross section polygonal. In segments from single populations, apertures in 2 to 4 longitudinal rows on obverse surfaces, offset in adjacent rows. Prominent longitudinal ridges developed on reverse surfaces, between rows of apertures, and between successive chambers; peristomes present. Lateral zooecia budded from walls of reverse surfaces; medial zooecia, where developed, budded from walls of lateral zooecia. Zooecial bases inflated. Zooecia recumbent in endozone, diverging from reverse surface at zooecial bend; rounded to subpolygonal in cross section. Zooecial bends abrupt, living chambers in exozones about 90* to segment surfaces. Zooecial length from 4 to 6 times diameter; arrangement of zooecia regular. One or two thin diaphragms common near base of zooecia. Exozonal width between ridges approximately one-quarter zooecial diameter. Zooecial boundaries well defined, nonlaminated wall locally well defined , nonlaminated wall locally well developed between zooidal wall along reverse surface and extrazooidal wall, and along zooecial boundaries in endozone. Nonlaminated material locally forming endozonal wall; zooecial boundaries elsewhere irregular, or locally not visible. Lamellar profiles rounded over longitudial ridges, between laterally adjacent zooecia; flattened between longitudinally successive zooecia. Paurostyles present, weakly developed.<\/li>\n<li><em>Arthrostylus<\/em> is distinguished by budding patterns, zooecial shape and orientation, development of nonlaminated wall, and paurostyle development of nonlaminated wall, and paurostyle development. Although distinctive in growth habit and development of nonlaminated walls, it resembles some other arthrostylid genera in jointed pattern and stylet development. Simpson (1897) suggested separation of <em>Arthrostylus<\/em> from other arthrostylid genera at the family level. Budding patterns and wall development suggest affinities between <em>Arthrostylus<\/em> and the Phylloporinidae<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Bassler (1911)<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This interesting member of the Arthrostylidae is represented in the Russian collections by a few individuals which can be referred to the two American Black River species, <em>A. conjunctus<\/em> and <em>A. obliquus<\/em> of Ulrich. These specimens consist of free segments of the zoarium, pointed at one end for articulation with the preceding segment, and with a socket-like hollow at the other end. The complete zoarium in <em>Arthrostylus<\/em> consists of numerous very small subquadrate segments united by terminal articulation and branching dichotomously until a small pinnate or bushy colony is the result; each of these segments has one of its faces longitudinally striated and each of the other faces, of which there are commonly three, bears a linear series of apertures between longitudinal ridges.<\/li>\n<li><em>Genotype<\/em>.\u2014<em>Helopora tenuis<\/em> James.
