The material dealt with in this second part of "Octocorallia from the Malay Archipelago" comprises mainly specimens belonging to the family Nephtheidae. Most of these nephtheids were obtained during the cruise of the "Willebrord Snellius". In addition to this material I examined some specimens collected by the Siboga Expedition, which had to be identified or described again. Besides, there were in the Leiden Museum some unidentified colonies, obtained in Malayan waters. These, too, are now recorded. Several authors have already pointed out how difficult it is to identify Dendronephthya, owing to the unsatisfactory description by some previous authors, and because of the great number of variations within the same species. Suffice it to refer to the... |

INTRODUCTION Verrill (1879: 199-200) described two specimens of Alcyonium collected on the Fishing Bank, east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 80 fathoms. According to him "they form low, thick, lobular masses", "the base is somewhat spreading" and "the division into rounded or flattened lobes takes place close to the base". He is of opinion that "if not identical with A. digitatum of Europe, it is at least very closely related". More than forty years later Verrill (1922: 20) returns to this question. This time he gives a drawing of one of these American colonies (his textfigure 3), and he has changed his mind regarding the relation to A. digitatum. He now thinks the species is "distinct from the common European species, A. digitatum, to which it is nearly... |

INTRODUCTION During several cruises of H.N1.M.S. Snellius and H.N1.M.S. Luymes in the Guyana shelf region and the Caribbean in the period of 1966 to 1972 a number of Telestacea and Alcyonacea were collected, which have been entrusted to me by Prof. Dr. W. Vervoort, director of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, and participant of most of the expeditions. I thank him for placing the material at my disposal. List of the cruises: "Snellius" zoological exploration of the continental shelf of Surinam (OCPS-I), western part of the Surinam shelf, March to May 1966. "Luymes" zoological exploration of the continental shelf of Surinam (OCPS-II), eastern part of the Surinam shelf, April 1969. "Luymes" Guyana shelf expedition (CICAR 15), shelf region... |

INTRODUCTION During the years 1960, 1963, 1964 and 1967 Dr. Arthur G. Humes, Boston University, Massachusetts, U.S.A., collected a number of octocorals in the waters north-west of Madagascar, near the islands Nosy Bé, Nosy Komba, Ambariobe (a small island nearly between Nosy Komba and Nosy Bé), Tany Kely (a small island to the south of Nosy Bé), Nosy Faly, Isles Mitsio, etc. The purpose of his collecting was the study of the copepods associated with these corals. In order to know the identity of the coral hosts of his copepods, Dr. Humes entrusted his extensive collection to me for identification. I wish to express my best thanks to Dr. Humes for giving me the opportunity of working on his interesting material. The present paper forms the first of a series... |

In this revision of the genus Lobophytum 46 valid species are recorded. Owing to my visits to several museums I could examine most type-specimens; of only four holotypes (L. batarum, L. borbonicum, L. lighti and L. rotundum) the depository is unknown to me. One new species, L. hapalolobatum, is described. A list of invalid synonyms and varieties is inserted, and five keys may be helpful in identifying the corals. |

In this paper I will try to solve the controversial points still existing in respect to the species Alcyonium palmatum Pallas, Alcyonium acaule Marion and Alcyonium brioniense Kükenthal. I found that A. brioniense has to be regarded a synonym of A. acaule, and that A. palmatum adriaticum Kükenthal, 1907, ( = A. adriaticum of Kükenthal, 1909) can neither be considered a geographical race nor a valid species. I wish to express my sincere thanks to Dr. L. D. Brongersma, director, and Drs. W. Vervoort and L. B. Holthuis, curators, of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie at Leiden, to Prof. Dr. H. Engel, director, and Dr. J. H. Stock, curator, of the Zoölogisch Museum at Amsterdam, for placing material of their respective museums at my disposal and for... |

The author refers 35 valid species to the genus Sarcophyton. The holotypes of nearly all species could be examined; of only three species (S. elegans, S. glaucum, and S. latum) their depository is unknown. The holotypes of eight species were described earlier by the present author, in four cases in co-operation with other authors; the reader is referred to the literature given in the list of valid species. Among the species described in the present paper there is a new one: S. buitendijki. A list of invalid taxa is added. Four keys may help with the identification of the corals. |

In this revision of the genus Sinularia 93 valid species are recorded. The type specimens of 13 species could not be examined, since the depository of the specimens is unknown; nevertheless it is possible to make notes on seven of them in this paper; three were discussed in former papers (S. gyrosa, S. marenzelleri and S. rigida), while the remaining three (S. mayi, S. microspiculata and S. verrucosa) could not be described in this paper. The holotypes of 24 species were described earlier by the present author and the reader is referred to the literature given. The results of the examination of two other species (S. densa and S. larsonae) will appear elsewhere (Records Aust. Mus. Sydney). Altogether 64 species are more or less fully described now; among... |

INTRODUCTION This paper is to be regarded as a continuation of my previous publication (Verseveldt, 1940 1)). Some three species, sufficient material of which for an anatomical examination was available, had then to remain undiscussed; they are: Semperina rubra Kö11., Anthothela macrocalyx (Nutt.) (= Suberia macrocalyx Nutting (1911) = Semperina macrocalyx (Nutt.) Kukenthal (1919)) and Sibogagorgia weberi Stiasny, which species have been examined by me in the same way as formerly the others. It has become clear to me that the second of the species mentioned cannot be considered as belonging either to the genus Suberia Studer or the genus Semperina Kö11. A close relationship with Anthothela grandiflora (M. Sors) caused me to decide on the name Anthothela... |

INTRODUCTION In the preface of the first part of the series "Octocorallia from northwestern Madagascar" (Verseveldt, 1969) I mentioned that Dr. Arthur G. Humes, Boston University, Massachusetts, U.S.A., made a rich collection of octocorals from the waters north-west of Madagascar, and that he kindly entrusted this material to me for study and report. This second part deals with a large number of these octocorals, belonging to the orders Telestacea, Alcyonacea and Gorgonacea (suborder Scleraxonia). The majority of the specimens reported upon are now in the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden ; their register numbers are preceded by the abbreviation RMNH. A few specimens collected by Dr. J. H. Stock now form part of the collection of the Zoölogisch... |

At the very time that the manuscript of the present paper was ready to be submitted for publication, the senior author, Dr. Jakob Verseveldt, in spite of his age, unexpectedly passed away on 29 March 1987 in his resident town, Zwolle, the Netherlands. Jakob Verseveldt was born on 8 February 1903 in The Hague, the last but one of twelve children (eight sons and four daughters) of the textile-dealer Teunis Jan Verseveldt and Pieternella Vriens. He received his primary and secondary education in his native town and graduated in 1921. In the same year he entered the University of Leiden to study biology and geology. In particular under the guidance of Prof. Dr. P. N. van Kampen, Prof. Dr. E. D. van Oort (both zoology) and Prof. Dr. J. M. Janse (botany), to... |

Introduction During her stay in New Caledonia in 1968 Dr. Maya Wijsman-Best, University of Amsterdam, collected some alcyonaceans, which have been kindly entrusted to me for study. Two years later two American biologists collected a large number of these corals at the same locality: the neighbourhood of Nouméa, the capital of New Caledonia. These investigators, Dr. Arthur G. Humes, Boston University, Massachusetts, U.S.A., and Mr. Robert C. Halverson, University of California, Santa Barbara, U.S.A., collected the material in order to study the copepods associated with the corals, and I thank them for placing the colonies at my disposal. In the two collections one or more colonies of the following species are present. List of species Order Alcyonacea... |

The present note is based on alcyonacean material collected by Dr. Arthur G. Humes, Boston University Marine Program, Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, U.S.A., while on board R/V "Alpha Helix" in the waters of the Moluccas in the spring of 1975. The corals, most of which were the hosts of copepods, were collected during the "Alpha Helix'' East Asian Bioluminescence Expedition, which was supported by the National Science Foundation (USA) under grants OFS 74 01830 and OFS 74 02888 to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and NSF grant BMS 74 23242 to the University of California, Santa Barbara. I thank Dr. Humes for entrusting the material to me. The material is kept in the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, Netherlands;... |

The type specimens of Spongodes celosia Lesson and of spicata Wright & Studer are redescribed. They are conspecific and must be called Stereonephthya celosia (Lesson). Most probably, Spongodes digitata Wright & Studer is also a Stereonephthya species. The validity of the genus Neospongodes Kükenthal is discussed. The species N. portoricensis must be transferred to the genus Stereonephthya, but the generic name Neospongodes must be maintained for N. atlantica Kükenthal. N. bahiensis Kükenthal is conspecific with N. atlantica. |

INTRODUCTION At the request of Dr. Dennis M. Devaney, Invertebrate Zoologist, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii, I investigated a number of Polynesian soft corals kept in the Museum mentioned. At the same time Professor Paul J. Scheuer, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Department of Chemistry, Honolulu, Hawaii, asked me to identify some octocorals from Enewetak Atoll (Marshall Is.) and from Ponape Island (Carolines). These collections include several well-known species which are not described in the present paper. I only mention their names with the localities added in parentheses: Cladiella pachyclados (Klunzinger, 1877) (American Samoa); Lobophytum borbonicum (Von Marenzeller, 1886) (Enewetak); Lobophytum pauciflorum (Ehrenberg, 1834) (Enewetak,... |

In 1969 Dr. Arthur G. Humes, Boston University, Massachusetts, U.S.A., collected a number of octocorals at Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands. He found that most of these corals were the hosts of copepods, just like the corals collected by him in the waters north-west of Madagascar (vide Verseveldt, 1969: 3). It was with great pleasure that I identified the corals for him. As appears from the survey of the material most of the species are wellknown, with the exception of two species one of which is redescribed below, while the other is described as a new species: Sinularia marenzelleri (Wright & Studer, 1889), this species being insufficiently described by previous authors, and Sinularia brongersmai spec. nov., which is named in honour of Dr. L. D.... |
