The occurrence of this genus and species in Red Sea was first reported by SCHEER (1964), who has already described and figured his material RM 102 . It is part of a corallum 17 mm thick at the broken edge. The older part of the corallum imperforate, but at the periphery it is perforated. NS 4919 is an entire cup-shaped corallum with a greater diameter of 12.5 em. The cup has a depth of 6.5 cm. The attachment was somehow lost at the time of collection, but a narrow base is present. CoraUum porous. The growing edges are 3 to 3.5 mm thick. The central mother calyx is 7 mm in diameter. Secondary calices 5 to 7 mm apart with 12 to 18 septa. Septa alternating in height and thickness, edges dentate, sides granular. Costae extend from the periphery to the base, but they are faint at the central part of the corallum where their course is marked by granules. Material: Gulf of Aqaba: Jerus.

Superfamily Poriticae GRAY, 1842 Family Poritidae GRAY, 1842 The family Poritidae is represented in the Red Sea by three genera viz. Porites, Goniopora and Alveopora. Among these the genus Porites is the mOSt ab undant and often a major reef builder as is the case elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific. Key to the genera of the family Poritidae discussed herein : A. Septa spiny, 1 to 3 cycles, generally not joined to a columella. Corallum highly porous, very light. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Alveopora B.

Septa fundamentally in two cycles. Corallites generally less than 2 mm in diameter. ..... Porites Genus Alveopora de BLAINVILLE, 1830 T Y pes p e c i e s : Madrepora daedalea FORSKAL, 177 5. G e n e ric c h a r act e r s: Explanate, columnar, sub massive or ramose. Septa composed of thin spines, 2 to 3 cycles. Columella ill-formed . Wall highly porous. The genus Alveopora urgently needs a revision. We have found in literature 19 species reported from Indo-Pacific, mostly single specimens, or known only from one locality. The usual distinction of the
89 species is based on size of corallites and number of septal spines. The latter criterion is not always unequivocal, size and number of the spines change within one species. We have tried to separate the species on grounds of shape of corallum and size of corallites. Key to the species considered herein: A. Corallum globular, knob-like. I . Corallites 2 to 2.5 mm in diameter. Septal spines in two cycles . . . .... ...... .. . . . A. daedalea B. Corall um columnar, plate-like or lobate. 2. Corallites polygonal, 1 to 1.5 mm in diameter.

We have seven specimens from Red Sea before us that display considerable skeletal variation. The growth form is esentially knob-like with diameters up to 60 mm, usually less. Corallites polygonal , 2 to 2 .5 mm in diameter. Septal spines in two cycles, primaries larger than the secondaries, extending horizontally to the centre and often meeting and tangling in the deeper parts of the fossae.
