Description. Encrusting colonies, 0.20 – 1.26 mm thick. Autozooecia growing from thin epitheca, bending in the early exozone to the colony surface. Basal diaphragms rare to absent. Autozooecial apertures circular to oval. Lunaria well-developed, triangular; ends of lunaria not indenting autozooecia. Vesicles small to large, separating autozooecia in 1 – 2 rows, 13 – 16 surrounding each autozooecia aperture, with rounded roofs, polygonal in tangential section. Autozooecial walls granular prismatic, 0.015 – 0.023 mm thick. Maculae not observed.

Remarks. The species Eridopora cf. beilensis Perkins and Perry, 1962, from the Arnsbergian (= Serpukhovian; late Mississippian) of Northern Yorkshire, England, described by Bancroft (1984) in his unpublished PhD dissertation is very similar to the original description of this species and the present species. However, the present species has smaller autozooecial apertures (average aperture width 0.30 mm vs. 0.39 mm in Eridopora cf. beilensis in Bancroft’s PhD). Eridopora beilensis differs from E. macrostoma Ulrich, 1882, in having smaller autozooecial apertures (average aperture width 0.30 mm vs. 0.39 mm in E. macrostoma). Occurrence. Lecompton Limestone, Pennsylvanian (Virgilian); Kansas, USA. Graham Formation, Pennsylvanian (Virgilian); TXV- 200 (“ Spillway section at Lost Creek Lake ”), Texas, USA.
