Distribution. Indian Ocean ( Pallas 1766 ), Indonesia ( Ellis & Solander 1786 ; van Pesch 1914 ; Wagner et al. 2011 ), Korea ( Moon & Song 2008 ), Hawaii ( Clarke et al. 2015 ), Madagascar (present study). Genus Stichopathes Brook, 1889 The genus Stichopathes encompasses unbranched corals but they differ from Cirrhipathes in having polyps arranged in a single row on one side of the corallum; the polyp row can sometimes twist around the stem. Even if the homology of this character has been questioned by several authors ( Pasternak 1977 ; Bo et al. 2012a ), it remains the only character for the distinction of this group. Like Cirrhipathes species, Stichopathes species can be straight, slightly to highly contorted, curved or coiled. The spines are smooth, papillose or with tubercles; the presence of secondary spines is common. To date, this genus encompasses 36 accepted species, of which Stichopathes pourtalesi Brook, 1889 from the Caribbean is the type species ( Bo & Opresko 2015 ; Molodtsova & Opresko 2020 ). The type specimens have been lost for eight of the currently accepted species, and 12 of the currently accpeted species were described from the Indian Ocean.
Counts are recordings at or below each taxon, so an empty branch shows as empty before you click it. A dash means the join view holds no column for that rank and cannot roll up to it.
The rows audioBlast holds for this taxon, each matched to the same Catalogue of Life node. Where a source classifies it differently, its own classification is kept.
