Representatives of this genus were previously studied by I.Yu. Bugrova and E.I. Kuzmicheva and were assigned to genera Meandrophyllia d’Orbigny, Microphyllia d’Orbigny, and Fungiastraea Alloiteau. A more detailed study of the microstructure and variability of these corals from the author’s collection made it possible to reconsider their taxonomic position and establish the new genus Balkhanomeandra gen. nov. with the type species B. roniewiczae sp. nov. in the family Latomeandridae.
