Abstract
Stromatoporoids from the Coral-stromatoporoid beds (Upper Jurassic: Argovian-Rauracian) exposed in the Kurnub Anticline of Maktesh Hathira, southern Israel, are shown to be characterized by lateral astrotubes and considered to be transitional to the Hydroidea. They are described as Actostroma damesini, A. nasri, and A. kiihni, gen. et spp. nov.
