Comparison Among genera with pennular micromorphology, cerioid colony structure and non-confluent (and subconfluent) septa, the only counterpart of Latiastrea is Mixastraea Roniewicz, 1976. Latiastrea differs from Mixastraea in its intracalicular buddding without any skeletal connections between centers, while in Mixastraea the centers are connected temporarily by septa. From Microphyllia d’Orbigny, 1849 and Comophyllia d’Orbigny, 1849, similar in septal structure, columella, and wall, it differs in cerioid colony while Microphyllia and Comophyllia have permanently serial distribution of corallites with lamellar linkages between the centers.

Diagnosis Cerioid. Corallites polygonal, monocentric with the exception of the process of budding. Budding intracalicular without lamellar connections of centers. Radial elements non-confluent and subconfluent, anastomosing; rare perforations near the inner margins. Septa differentiated into three size orders: the S1 septa reach the axial region with trabecular projections of the inner margin and form a papillar columella, the S2 septa shorter, anastomosing with the S1 septa or free; the S3 septa short. Lateral faces with pennulae; distal margin denticulated. Endotheca abundant, vesicular. Wall septo-synapticular. [details]
Remark About 10 nominal species were determined among Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous corals of Europe, Japan and Mexico. [details]
