Original Description

Porodiscida with four simple, undivided, chambered arms, without a patagium; quadrangular shell a regular cross, with four equal arms placed at right angles.

The genus Stauralastrum is the most simple form of the Tessarastrida, or of those Porodiscida in which the margin of the central disk is armed with four chambered arms. In Stauralastrum these four arms are quite simple and equal, without a patagium, separated by four right angles, so that the whole shell represents a regular rectangular cross. If we connect the distal points of the arms by lines, we get a complete square. (In my Prodromus, 1881, the species of this genus were united with Hagiastrum, which genus I now retain for the simple bilateral Tessarastrida.)

Etymology:
Greek stauralastrum = crossed sea-star"
