Comparison Like Actinastrea, Astrocoenia and correlate genera but differing by to have parietal columella formed by trabecular projection, by extracalicular increase, by compact wall, by free septa, and without trabecular projection on external septa edge. Like Chondrocoenia but differing by free septa and because Araucanastrea have no costosepta. Like Crassistela but differing by extracalicular increase and parietal columella. Like Melikerona Alloiteau – non Glenarea according to Eliasova – but differing by parietal columella and trabecular projection. Like Coenastrea but differing by parietal columella. Like Allocoenia but differing by parietal columella and extracalicular increase. [details]
Diagnosis Colony cerioid; parietal columella formed by trabecula ; compact para-septothecal wall; Cellular endotheca; extracalicular increase producing 1, 2 or 3 corallites among 3 adults corallites. [details]
