From the Lower Valanginian of the Sierra de Cazorla (Internal Prebetic, SE Spain), a coral fauna is taxonomically described. The fauna encompasses 51 species in 29 genera. One genus and three species are described as new. The most speciesrich are the superfamilies Cyclolitoidea and Stylinoidea. The faunal composition is ambivalent and encompasses typical Jurassic taxa, such as members of the families Amphiastraeidae, Rhipidogyridae, Solenocoenidae and Stylinidae, but also typical Cretaceous elements such as the genera Confusaforma, Floriastrea and Holocoenia (which also have their first occurrence in the Valanginian studied fauna). Four Jurassic genera show a range extension into the Early Valanginian: Alloiteaucoenia, Bilaterocoenia, Hykeliphyllum and Miscellosmilia. Other genera still survived into the Late Valanginian (Placogyra, Rhipidogyra and Solenocoenia) but became extinct. A palaeobiogeographic analysis shows relationships of the studied fauna to the Tithonian and the Kimmeridgian of the northern Tethys on one hand, and the Hauterivian of the Paris Basin and the Puebla Basin (Mexico) on the other. Nineteen species of the studied fauna remained in open nomenclature; the majority of them probably represent new species.

“…Species with very thin septa (such as Axosmilia bellaReig Oriol, 1991, Axosmilia mexicana Wells, 1946, Pleurosmilia whitneyi Wells, 1933, or syntype MGB 20521 of Peplosmilia casanasi Angelis d'Ossat, 1905) are not included in Rayasmilia, at the present time; however, they may belong to BathmosmiliaAlloiteau, 1958. The same applies to similar solitary corals from the Upper Cretaceous (for instance, material assessed as Plesiosmilia inLöser, Steuber and Löser, 2018), whereby the microstructure consists of small trabeculae marked by a dark line that is traversed by perpendicular dark lines.

Solitary corals currently assigned to the genus Plesiosmilia are common elements in Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous coral faunas. The genus itself is poorly defined and its systematic position is questionable. Moreover, examination of type material has shown that the genus lumps corals of different morphologies. Here, one common coral type is separated in a new solitary coral genus as well as two new phaceloid coral genera with a comparable morphology. The three new and another three existing genera are collected in a new family. The newly described material comes from the Upper Valanginian-Lower Hauterivian of San Juan Raya (Puebla) and the Lower Albian of Rayón (Sonora, both Mexico).
