Abstract;Three new species of tabulate corals, that can be referred to the superfamily Pachyporicae, are described from the Gionyama Formation, Miyazaki Prefecture. The assemblages include the pachyporids Hillaepora gionensis sp. nov. from the lower Ludlow G3 Member and Striatopora sugiyamai sp. nov. from the upper Wenlock G2 Member and G3 Member, and a parastriatoporid Parastriatopora hyugaensis sp. nov. from the G2 Member. Hillaepora was not previously known in Japan. Closely related forms with the pachyporicaes are reported from the Siberian Platform, Inner Mongolia, Chinling of China, and the Imose Limestone of Kochi Prefecture. (author abst.)
