Description Massive colonial corallum, cerioid. Intracalicular septal increase (or budding), irregularly polygonal corallites. Radial elements compact flexuous septa s.s. Inner edges of septa, enlarged by teeth, are either free or fused to the columella. Lateral faces with granules. Bilateral symmetry of septal apparatus marked by a septum longer than others. Some lonsdaleoid septa. The wall is a thick compact septotheca of the same nature as the radial elements. Endotheca made of cellular rather than vesicular dissepiments. Initially styliform, the columella becomes lamellar. Synapticules absent. [details]
Remark According to Beauvais (1970) Acanthogyra belongs to Pruvostastreidae, but Eliasova (1973) and Roniewicz (1976) assigned this genus to Rhipidogyridae on the basis of Acanthogyra columnaris in Eliasova 1973 which is a Columnogyra. Castiglionastrea Gill et al. is a junior synonym better preserved than the Ogilvie's type. 6 Jurassic and 2 Cretaceous nominal species. [details]
Type designation Subsequent designation by Wells (1936) [details]
