NEW SCLERACTINIA FROM AUSTRALIAN CORAL REEFS

WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 1 decade ago

Abstract: Eleven new species of Scleractinia are described. These belong to ten different genera, one of which (Australomussa) is new, another of which (Hydnophora) has been given a new taxonomic position (in the Merulinidae). A new merulinid genus, Paraclaverina, has been erected for Clauarina triangularis. Six of the 11 new species are known only from Western Australia, two only from eastern Australia, while the remaining three are known from both coasts.
