Steven Holland (UGA Strat Lab, 2013):

• Dekayia may be ramose, encrusting, or massive, typically with low or flush monticules. Diaphragms typically absent in endozone and are also either absent or widely spaced in exozone. Zooecial walls are crenulated to undulatory for their entire length, but especially so at the zooecial bend; walls also show irregular thickenings in exozone. Mesozooids are commonly rare or absent between monticules, and they are typically beaded. Dekayiabears styles, which may start in both endozone and exozone, lie at zooecial corners (rarely between corners), and typically terminate within the exozone. A few species also have styles that originate in the exozone, lie between zooecial corners, and that are offset from the zooecial walls.

Karklins (1984):

• Boardman and Utgaard (1966, p. 1103) redescribed the genus and amended its definition; their definition is followed herein.

McFarlan (1931):

• Distinguished from Heterotrypa

Nickles & Bassler (1900):

• Dekayia Milne-Edwards and Haime: Zoarium erect, ramose; zooecia with few diaphragms; acanthopores usually large; mesopores few or wanting.
