    https://doi.org/10.31396/Biodiv.Jour.2023.14.3.431.435

    ABSTRACT
    Four species of Pliocene scleractinians from the Estepona Basin (Spain) are examined. One species of Caryophyllia Lamarck, 1801 (Caryophyliidae) and one of Dendrophyllia Blainville, 1830 (Dendrophylliidae) from El Lobillo are reported for the first time from this basin and from the Pliocene of the Mediterranean Sea. A species of Phyllangia Milne Edwards et Haime, 1848 (Caryophyliidae) from Arroyo Vaquero, already reported from the Pliocene of Siena (Italy), is also reported for the first time from Estepona basin. Finally, the report of Flabellum vaticani Ponzi, 1876 (Flabellidae) from Valerin Carretera is confirmed.
