Summary:Caryophyllia antarctica Marenzeller, 1904 Figs. 2 D–E, 6 Caryophyllia antarctica Marenzeller, 1904: 293 –294, pl. 16, figs. 7, 7d.—Squires, 1969: 16, 17, pl. 6, map 1.—Cairns, 1982: 15–16, pl. 3, figs. 7–9, pl. 4, figs. 1–4, map 3 (re-description, complete synonymy); 1990: 33–34, figs. 8–9.—Kitahara, Cairns & Miller, 2010: 114 (key).

Despite its location, the specimens reported herein are entirely consistent with the known species. They have four complete cycles of septa, the inner edges of their S3 and P3 being quite sinuous, each of these elements having oblique rows or ridges of rectangular-shaped granules on their faces. The fossa is quite shallow and the columella is well developed. Distribution.
