26 The type of S. wellsi is housed in the aturmuseum Senckenberg Frankfurt (SMF 1033), also one paratype, the other paratypes are in the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt (HLM). The following are the details of this species as described originally by one of us (SCHEER). The branches are thick, heavy, up to 4 em thick and 7 em long. The corallum possesses verruciform structures similar to those of Pocillopora. Calices 0 .8 to 1.2 mm in diameter, closely placed . Septa six , upper half of septa project into the fossa and then descend vertically down to meet the columella. Columella present in older calices. Coenosteum spiny. The thecal rim is not elevated but level with the surrounding coenenchyme. Stylophora hassi SCHEER, 1967, is based on a single specimen from Sarso Island (holotype X2 : 10- 17 in the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt). This specimen also has verruciform projections characteristic of S. wellsi. But is has slender branches almost resembling S. pistillata. Further samples are required to assess its relationship, but we feel that s. hassi falls within the range of skeletal variations of s. wellsi, particularly in the presence of verrucae. The present species is unique among the living representatives of the genus in the possession of cal icle-bearing verrucae that suggests its evolutionary affinity with Pocillopora. It is near Stylophora verrueosa GERTH , 1923 , from the Tertiary beds of Borneo. Mater ial : Gulf of Aqaba: T. Aviv NS Basel PW Northern R. S. : US M Wa Central R. S.: P. Sud . Sa HLM RNI Southern R.

Stylophora mamillota new species (Platt' 4. Figs. 1- 3) The following is a generalized description of this species based on material collected by Dr. D. KUEHL· MAN from Wingate Reef, Port Sudan, outer reef (25 to 40 m deep), and preserved in the Museum fiir Naturkunde, Humboldt University, Berlin. Corallum encrusting, thin,S to 8 em in greater spread. Surface rises into mamillary hillocks, 2 to 5 mm high and 5 to 8 mm in diameter. Distance between adjacent projections 2 to 8 mm. Under the lens the surface of the corallum reveals closely set echinulations. In some cases 2 to 5 spines run together forming a short ridge. Calices 0.4 to 0.6 mm in diameter, openings rounded , look like deep punctures. Primary septa conspicuous, project to half radius circle, nonexserr or only slightly so. They descend vertically to join a pillar-like columella. Second cycle of septa very small or rudimentary. Intercorallite areas with prominent hoods at nearly each calyx, facing at different directions. The width of the hoods comes up to twice the diameter of the ca lices. Some of the hoods are 0.5 to 0.6 mm high so that the entrance to the calyx lies laterally and cannot be seen from above. Material: Central R.

Genus Seriatopora LAMARCK, 1816 Ty pe s pee i e s: Seriatopora subulata LAMARCK, 1816. G e n e ric c h a rae t e r s : Ramose, branches slender, often coalescent. Coenenchyme solid. Corallites arranged in longitudinal rows parallel to the long axis of the branches. Septa and columella rudimentary. Thecal rim rises in the form of hoods.
27 KLUNZINGER (1879) discussed five species of Seriatopora from Red Sea, viz. S. oetoptera (EHREN· BERG ), S. ealiendrum (EHRENBERG) , S. lineata (LiNNAEUS), S. spinosa MIL E EDWARDS & HAIME and S. angulata KLUNZINGER . In this work we recognize only three species of Seriatopora as occuring in Red Sea. S. lineata (EHRENBERG , ? non Lh NAEUS) and S. spinosa being merged with S. hystrix (= S. angulata ). The following is a summary of the characteristics of the various species discussed herein. I . Main branches 4 to 6 mm thick.

We are assigning two specimens in our collection to this species after having examined EHRENBERG 's rypes in Berlin Museum (Nos. 1039, 1040,1041 , 1042). The salient features of this species were already summarized. The branches in the present specimens are thin, only 3 to 4 mm in diameter, coalescent. Calices 0.5 to 0 .6 mm in diameter, septa rudimentary. The calicular wall slightly elevated at the upper half. Surface finely echinulate. M a terial : Culf of Aqaga : T. Aviv NS 9304 ( Eilat).

This " eightwinged " Seriatopora is characterized, according to KLU ZINGER, as follows : Caespitose, spreading. branches dichotomous. Mai n divisions rounded in outline, about 5 mm thick; branchlets cylindrical, upper branch lets 2 mm in diameter, 2 to 6 mm long. Calices 0 .5 to 0.75 mm in diameter, close together, not in regular rows. Thecal rim equally but slightly raised on all sides of the corallites. Surface coenenchyme spiny. In between the rows of calices, at the distal parts of the branchlets, there are 8 to 10 wing-like expansions, hence the specific name oetoptera. 5 Zoologica. 1 33
