Abstract	The rugose corals stratigraphically distributed in the southern Shan State occur throughout the Permian (Pseudoschwagerina-Verbeekina) Zones (Oo, 2010; Aye KoAung, 2011) and very recently from Late Permian (Paleofusulina-colaniella) Zone (Aye KoAung et al., 2013) although the richest faunas are from strata of Wordian/Murgabian age. The small numbers of Lower Permian (Kungurian) coral species (Anfractophyllum n.sp., Pavastehphyllum n. sp., Thomasiphyllum n. sp., and Wentzellophyllum n. sp.) (Aye KoAung, in prep.)are also recognized in some areas (Kazet, Thayetpya and Taungni areas of the southern Shan State). Some Middle Permian rugose corals from the Sibumasu Block in Myanmar (Waagenophyllumyini Fontaine, Multimurinusfontainei (Kato & Ezaki), and Ipciphyllumsubelegans Minato & Kato) also resemble those from Bukit Kepayang, Pahang State (Fontaine et al. 1988) and Bukit Biwah, Terengganu State (Kato & Ezaki, 1986), both are located in the East Peninsular Malaysia Indochina Block. In one locality named Linwe, a Permian (Murgabian-Capitanian) phillipsiid trilobite was recovered from the Thitsipin Limestone (Aye KoAung, 1994) for the first time from Myanmar and is closely comparable to that from the Permian (Guadalupian) Bera Formation, Pahang, central Peninsular Malaysia (MohdShafeea Leman &Sone, 2002).
