Remarks . — Flabellum apertum was first reported (Moseley 1881) from off Chile (48°S, Golfo de Penas) as F. patagonichum at 220 m. Cairns (1982) later reported two records from the continental slope off Isla Desolación (1262–1500 m). Specimens reported herein were also collected off Isla Desolación, off Islas Morton, and a northern range extension at 34°S. The species is thus known from 34° to 56°S off the Chilean coast at depths of 193–1500 m but is more widespread throughout the Subantarctic at similar depths (Cairns 1982, 1995). It is well described and illustrated by Cairns (1982, 1995). : Published as part of Cairns, Stephen D., Häussermann, Verena & Försterra, Günter, 2005, A review of the Scleractinia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) of Chile, with the description of two new species, pp. 15-46 in Zootaxa 1018 (1) on page 42, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1018.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/5049374 : {"references": ["Moseley, H.
