Eridotrypa is an extinct genus of bryozoans of the family Aisenvergiidae, [1] consistently forming colonies made of thin branches (only about 1 to 2.25 millimeters wide). [2] [3] Diaphragms are very common in colonies. Distinctively, in the exozone there are serrated dark borders separating the autozooecia. [4]
