Acropora macrostoma (Brook) View in CoL ; Crossland 1952. Here removed from synonymy with Acropora tenuis (Dana, 1846) contra Veron and Wallace 1984; 279.

Specimens examined: NHM: 1878.2.4.7 , Madrepora macrostoma holotype, Mauritius ; MTQ: G51822 , G51823 and G51824 , from Baie Aux Tortues , Mauritius .
