PW 73544 is a young entire foliaceous corallum with a greater spread of 8 cm. Growing edges very thin, less than 1 mm thick. Corallites 3 to 4 mm in diameter, about 1 mm deep. Wall more exsert on one side than on the other, according to the incidence of light, maximum elevation 2 mm . Total number of septa 28 to 32 in various calices , 12 to 16 reach the columella. Primary cycle of septa the largest. Peri thecal costae, extending from corall ite to corallite, are finely granulated with occasional spines. SLR 11 64 is composed of some t hin fo liaceous fragments (2 mm thick). The corallites are up to 3 mm exsert. The costae are thicker at the base of t he corallites than at the top. The notable feature of this species is t he delicate development of peri thecal costae. To the naked eye the surface looks nearly smooth, but under a lens it appears striated by the costae, which bear minute grains. Mate rial : Gulf of Aqaba : Jerus.

R em ark s: The species was first reported from Red Sea by MA (1959) ; then by LOYA & SLOBOD KIN (1971) and WIJSMA N-BEST (1980). Our specimen PW 73 544 rese mbles very much Echinopora glabra CH EVALIER (1975). MATTHAI ( 1914) merged doubtfully E. horrida with E. lamellosa, but CHEVALIER (1975) treated them d istinct. Though the branching growthform of Echinopora is not common in the Indian Ocean in general, it seems that such growth is very common in Australian waters including the Solomon Islands. It is very likely that E. horrida is the same as E. lamellosa. Echinopora gemmacea (LAM ARCK), 1816 Exp/anaria Echinopora (Plate 32, Figs. 6-9 ; Plate 33 .
