Actinocorallia is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria). ^[1]

Etymology

The name Actinocorallia derives from:
Greek noun 'aktis, aktinos (ἀκτίς, ἀκτῖνος), a beam; Latin noun corallium, coral; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Actinocorallia, meaning an actinomycete microorganism that forms sporophores resembling coral. ^[1]

The genus contains 10 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely ^[1]

• A. aurantiaca(Lavrova and Preobrazhenskaya 1975) Zhang et al. 2001; Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective aurantiaca, orange-coloured, referring to the gold-colored substrate mycelium, was formerly known as Actinomadura aurantiaca ^[3]
• A. aureaTamura et al. 2007; Latin feminine gender adjective aurea, golden, formerly known as "Sarraceniospora aurea" ^[4]
• A. cavernaeLee 2006; Latin genitive case noun cavernae, of a cavern, was isolated from a cave in Jeju, Korea ^[5]
• A. glomerata(Itoh et al. 1996) Zhang et al. 2001; Latin feminine gender participle adjective glomerata, (from Latin v. glomerare, to form into ball, glomerate), formerly known as Actinomadura glomerata ^[3]
• A. herbidaIinuma et al. 1994 (Type species of the genus); Latin feminine gender adjective herbida, like grass, grassy, referring to the formation of aerial mycelia like grass. ^[6]
• A. libanotica(Meyer 1981) Zhang et al. 2001; Latin noun Libanus, Lebanon; Latin feminine gender suff. -tica, suff. denoting made of or belonging to; Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective libanotica, belonging to Lebanon (the country in which the soil sample was taken), was formerly known as Actinomadura libanotica ^[3]
• A. longicatena(Itoh et al. 1996) Zhang et al. 2001; Latin adjective longus, long; Latin feminine gender noun catena, chain; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun longicatena, a long chain. ^[3]
