Generic Combinations

Miscellaneous Literature Names
- Antipathes flabellum Esper, 1788 [Esper had material that he identified as Antipathes flabellum Pallas, but Pallas' description is confusing and the true identity of his species will never be known. Esper's material as been shown to represent one of his later 1806 species, Gorgonia pseudoantipathes, which is now known to be Verrucella pseudoantipathes (Esper, 1806). Ridley identified Australian material as Echinogorgia flabellum and attributed the species to Esper and not Pallas. Ridley's decription indicates that he did indeed have a species of Echinogorgia.
