From editor or global species database
Comparison From all Actinastrea-like genera differs in formation of peritheca, and in having trabeculae strongly differentiated into small septal and very thick costal ones. [details]

Description First morphological description was that in Frech 1890: 36-37. In details, with microstructural features, described by Roniewicz 1989:104 (with synonymy). [details]

Diagnosis Plocoid to cerioid composed of small corallites; costae solid or discontinuous, septa solid; septal trabeculae thinner than costal ones; anastomosis between S2 and S3 septa is present; single paliform projections at S2 septa; septal sides with sharp granulation; internal septal edge regularly denticulated with trabecular projections; columella monotrabecular; endotheca tabuloid; exotheca dissepimental, vesicular. Wall zigzag. [details]

Remark Three well defined species and two taxa in open nomenclature were described from the Rhaetian in the Alps. Among Early Jurassic corals, some of species attributed to Allocoeniopsis Alloiteau and Cyathocoenia Duncan have features typical of Chondrocoenia Roniewicz. [details]

Status In the literature, corals of this genus can be found among Allocoeniopsis Alloiteau, Astrocoenia Milne Edwards et Haime, Prionastrea Milne Edwards et Haime, Stephanocoenia Milne Edwards et Haime, Actinastrea d'Orbigny, Isastrea Milne Edwards et Haime, Cyathocoenia Duncan. [details]
