The Corallinaceae are one of the two extant Coralline families of red algae; they are differentiated from the morphologically similar Sporolithaceae by their formation of grouped sporangial chambers, clustered into sori.{{cite book | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=_29tNNeQKeMC&dq=Litostroma&pg=PA149 | title = Paleobotany: the biology and evolution of fossil plants | isbn = 978-0-12-373972-8 | author1 = Taylor, Thomas N | author2 = Taylor, Edith L | author3 = Krings, Michael | year = 2009}} The Corallinoideae is monophyletic; the other subfamilies form another monophyletic group.
