New data on the Carboniferous corals of the Donets Basin

Additional data are given here on the taxonomic diversity and distribution of the Carboniferous rugose and tabulate corals of the Donets Basin (Ukraine). Keyserlingophyllum obliquum (Keyserling, 1846) was recorded in the Tournaisian part of the section for the first time. Rotiphyllum omaliusi (Milne-Edwards et Haime, 1851) and Dorlodotia pseudovermiculare (McCoy, 1849) were found in Tournaisian-Viséan boundary deposits. Zaphrentites parallelus (Carruthers, 1910), together with Sutherlandia and Cladochonus, was discovered approximately in the mid-Viséan. The tabulate coral Volnovakhipora n. gen. from the Tournaisian and the rugose coral Arctophyllum lugankaensis n. sp. from the Gzhelian are established and described.
