Notes – Koralionastes was introduced to accommodate Koralionastes angustus, K. ellipticus and K. ovalis (the type species) by Kohlmeyer & Volkmann-Kohlmeyer (1987). Kohlmeyer & Volkmann-Kohlmeyer (1990a) introduced K. giganteus, and K. violaceus found on dead coralline covered rocks among crustose sponges and their ascospores have double walls and are ellipsoidal or fusiform (Campbell et al. 2009).
