| Summary: | Acanella chiliensis Wright & Studer, 1889 Figure 8 Acanella chiliensis Wright & Studer, 1889: 31, pl. IX, fig 3. Type: Collected via dredge. Station 301, in the Messier Channel, Patagonia, Chile. 175 fathoms depth. Indicated as deposited in the Natural History Museum, London; however we were not able to verify the location of the type specimen at the time of this publication. For description see: Wright & Studer 1889 Remarks: The specimens represented by Haplotype C (Figure 8) have 5̄ 7 mm tall polyps with curved, slightly club-shaped sclerites with spine-like projections, which corresponds with the species description of A. chiliensis as described in Wright and Studer (1889). A. chiliensis is the only valid species within the genus that has club-shaped sclerites. Published reports of A. chiliensis appear only once, a collection from the eastern South Pacific (Messier Channel, Patagonia, Chile) at 320 m depth; our samples thus expand the known distribution of the species to the western South ... : Published as part of France, Scott C., 2017, A taxonomic review of the genus Acanella (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Isididae) in the North Atlantic Ocean, with descriptions of two new species, pp. 359-390 in Zootaxa 4323 (3) on pages 373-374, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4323.3.2, http://zenodo.org/record/919804 ... |
