Material.

BSPG 1947 XVI 60; one thin section.

Remarks.

In Löser et al. (2013c) 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).
