| Summary: | Acanella furcata Thomson, 1929 Figure 12 Acanella furcata Thomson, 1929: 4, unnumbered fig. Isidella elongata: Carpine & Grasshoff, 1975: 107, figs. 59̅60. Type: Collected via long-line fishing, off of Monaco, Mediterranean Sea. 190 m depth. Deposited in the Musée Océanographique de Monaco. For description see: Thomson, 1929 Remarks: Colonies with Haplotype F match the description of Acanella furcata (Figure 12), which is known only from the Mediterranean Sea, where all the sequenced Haplotype F specimens were collected. A. furcata was synonymized by Carpine and Grasshoff (1975: 107) with Isidella elongata, although they did not provide an explanation as to why but rather state it as a fact without doubt (“Il n’y a non plus aucun doute sur l’identité d’ Acanella furcata Thomson avec I. elongata.”). The original description of Isidella indicates that it has large sclerites that do not project between the base of tentacles. Koch (1887) re-described Isidella and both his illustrations and description ... : 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 377-378, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4323.3.2, http://zenodo.org/record/919804 ... |
