| A new species of Madreporaria, Polycyathus fulvus, is described from New Caledonia. Zooxanthellae have been found symbiotic in its polyps, although the genus is ahermatypic. Another Polycyathus, P. senegalensis Chevalier, 1966, is recorded from the Caribbean area; it was previously known from the eastern tropical Atlantic only. These two records extend the known range of the genus and show it to have a circumequatorial distribution in warm and warm-temperate waters. |

| Taxonomic treatment of a large collection of recent corals from New Caledonia belonging to the subfamily Faviinae resulted in the full description of thirty-four species amongst which two are new, while some others are briefly mentioned. A pattern for the subfamily in the influence of environmental factors on growth was found. A comparison between this general pattern and the environment-induced modification of each different form allowed a particular growth form’s ecology to be used as a criterion for defining the species to which it should be allocated. |
