Description.

Thamnasterioid-cerioid colony. Corallite outline irregular with corallite centres slightly depressed. Symmetry of septa irregular. Costae confluent or sub-confluent. Synapticulae occasional, mainly in the space between corallites. Columella consists of isolated trabeculae or one more solid element. Wall subcompact, made of synapticulae. Polyastreopsis differs from Thalamocaeniopsis by a poorly defined corallite outline, and a more incomplete wall.
