Treatment

Actinastrea subdecaphylla ( Oppenheim, 1930)

v * 1930 Astrocoenia subdecaphylla View in CoL n. sp. – Oppenheim: 460, pl. 15, fig. 9.

1982 Actinastraea subdecaphylla ( Oppenheim) 1930 – Beauvais: (1), 13, figs 1, 2.

v 2013 Actinastrea regularis (de Fromentel, 1887) – Löser, Werner and Darga: 43, pl. 1, figs 1, 2.

v 2019 Actinastrea? subdecaphylla Oppenheim, 1930 – Löser, Heinrich and Schuster: 48, figs 58 a – d.

Material.

BSPG 1947 XVI 60; one thin section.

Remarks.

In Löser et al. (2013 c) this specimen was assigned to Actinastrea regularis (de Fromentel, 1887) . After examining the type material of Actinastrea subdecaphylla this assignation was corrected. Both species are similar but differ in the corallite dimensions (see Löser et al. 2019: 40 for comparison).

Other occurrences.

Coniacian to Santonian of the Central Tethys ( Austria), upper Santonian of the Western Tethys ( France), upper Campanian to lower Maastrichtian of the Arabian Peninsula ( United Arab Emirates).
