Family SIDERASTREIDAE Vaughan and Wells 1943 Genus Xishasiderastrea gen. nov. Type species Xishasiderastrea sinensis sp. nov. Massive, cerioid colonies formed by intra- and extratentacular budding. Corallites polygonal, crowded. Corallite walls well defined, formed by synapticular rings. Columella absent. The new genus closely resembles Siderastrea, but it is easily distinguishable from the latter by the absence of columella.
