The fully developed marine Carboniferous and early Early Permian rocks in Western Guizhou and Eastern Yunnan, SW. China are represented by several hundred meters to more than 1,000 m of limestones and argillaceous limestones, containing abundant faunas of rugose corals in association with brachiopods, and others. The Carboniferous and early Early Permian rugose corals here described and illustrated were collected by the authors and their colleagues of Nanjing Instate of Geology and Paleontology, Academia Sinica from Weining, Shuicheng, Panxian and Pu'an Counties of Guizhou Province and ZhanYi County of Yunnan Province in 1963, 1973 and 1981. They have been assigned to 215 species (including 105 new species and 13 new subspecies) in 95 genera (including 8 new genera and 1 new subgenus) and 24 families, providing the knowledge of their faunal succession, evolutional stages and biological community of the Carboniferous and early Early Permian in the concerned areas
