A Study on the Classification of the Korean Anthozoa: 2. Alcyonacea

A study on the classification of the Korean anthozoans is based on the materials which were collected during the period from October 1963 to May 1975 in the coastal seas of the South Sea and the East Sea of the South Korea. The results of the identification were turned out to be eight species, five genera, three families and one order. They are all unrecorded species in Korean anthozoan fauna. The newly recorded species are as follows: Family Alcyoniidae: 1. Bellonella rubra Brundin, 1896; 2. B. rigida Putter, 1900; 3. B. unicolor (Kukenthal, 1906); 4. Alcyonium gracillimum Kukenthal, 1906; Family Nephtheidae: 5. Paraspongodes spiculosa (Kukenthal, 1906); 6. P. hirotai (Utinomi, 1951); 7. Dendronephthya pectinata (Holm, 1985); Family Nidaliidae: 8. Siphonogorgia dofleini Kukenthal, 1906.

1963년 10월부터 1975년 5월까지 東海와 南海沿岸으로부터 채집된 標本들을 同定한 결과 1目 3科 5屬 8種을 얻었다. 이들은 모두 韓國未記錄種이었으며 다음과 같은 종들이다. Bellonella rubra Brundin, 1896; B, rigida putter, 1900; B. unicolor (Kukenthal, 1906); Alcyonium gracillimum Kukenthal, 1906; Paraspongodes spiculosa (Kukenthal, 1906); P. hitotai (Utinomi, 1951); Dendronephthya pectinata (Holm, 1895); Siphonogorgia dofleini Kukenthal, 1906.
