Five new species of azooxanthellate Scleractinia are described from the Panamanian-Costa Rican Neogene: Septastraea altispina, Antillocyathus gracilis, Paracyathus adetos, Oxysmilia pliocenica, and Asterosmilia irregularis. Three additional species of azooxanthellate stony corals are also reported for the first time in the fossil record: Gardineria minor, Schizocyathus fissilis, and Stylaster roseus.
