    Description: A new genus of nephtheid soft corals is described from the Indo-Pacific, 53 species are included, 34 of which are new to science: Chromonephthea aldersladei spec. nov., C. bayeri spec. nov., C. benayahui spec. nov., C. braziliensis spec. nov., C. brevis spec. nov., C. cairnsi spec. nov., C. cobourgensis spec. nov., C. egmondi spec. nov., C. exosis spec. nov., C. franseni spec. nov., C. frondosa spec. nov., C. fruticosa spec. nov., C. goudi spec. nov., C. grandis spec. nov., C. grasshoffispec. nov., C. hoeksemai spec. nov., C. hornerae spec. nov., C. imaharai spec. nov., C. imperfecta spec. nov., C. levis spec. nov., C. megasclera spec. nov., C. minor spec. nov., C. muironensis spec. nov., C. obscura spec. nov., C. ostrina spec. nov., C. palauensis spec. nov., C. rotunda spec. nov., C. simulata spec. nov., C. singularis spec. nov., C. slieringsi spec. nov., C. spinosa spec. nov., C. tentoriae spec. nov. C. variabilis spec. nov., and C. williamsi spec. nov. The other 19 species were previously assigned to the genera Nephthea, Stereonephthya, Dendronephthya and Paraspongodes. Spongodes costatocyanea Burchardt, 1898 is synonymized with C. costatofulva (Burchardt, 1898); Stereonephthya longicaulis K\xc3\xbckenthal, 1911 with C. curvata (K\xc3\xbckenthal, 1911); Nephthya australis K\xc3\xbckenthal, 1910, with C. rubra (K\xc3\xbckenthal, 1910); Nephthya quercus K\xc3\xbckenthal, 1910 with C. rubra (K\xc3\xbckenthal, 1910); and Nephthya granulata K\xc3\xbckenthal, 1910, with C. hartmeyeri (K\xc3\xbckenthal, 1910). The morphological characters used to identify the species of Chromonephthea are discussed. Differences with the related genera Nephthea, Litophyton, Stereonephthya, Neospongodes, and Dendronephthya are mentioned. An illustrated key to the species is provided. The distribution of Chromonephthea species is presented and their apparent endemism is discussed.

    Fish, fans and hydroids: host species of pygmy seahorses (2011)
    In:  ZooKeys vol. 103, pp. 1-26
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-12
    Description: An overview of the octocoral and hydrozoan host species of pygmy seahorses is provided based on literature records and recently collected field data for Hippocampus bargibanti, H. denise and H. pontohi. Seven new associations are recognized and an overview of the so far documented host species is given. A detailed re-examination of octocoral type material and a review of the taxonomic history of the alcyonacean genera Annella (Subergorgiidae) and Muricella (Acanthogorgiidae) are included as baseline for future revisions. The host specificity and colour morphs of pygmy seahorses are discussed, as well as the reliability of (previous) identifications and conservation issues.

    A centuries old problem in nephtheid taxonomy approached using DNA data (Coelenterata: Alcyonacea) (2007)
    In:  Contributions to Zoology vol. 76 no. 3, pp. 153-178
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-12
    Description: The current centuries old classification of the family Nephtheidae is still mostly based on colony morphology. In this family the Indo-Pacifc genera Litophyton, Nephthea, Dendronephthya and Stereonephthya, and the Atlantic genus Neospongodes form a complex mix of closely related, poorly described species which cannot be recognized using only colony morphology. Attempts with the more modern approach of comparing skeleton composition (sclerites) have been only partly successful because of the extreme variation of sclerite forms present in these genera. The genus Chromonephthea Van Ofwegen, 2005, introduced for several species previously assigned to Dendronephthya, Nephthea and Stereonephthya, was established with sclerite morphology, but the true generic status of the majority of the nominal species of these genera remained unresolved. In an attempt to clarify the phylogenetic relationships between Litophyton, Nephthea, Stereonephthya and Chromonephthea fourteen specimens, unidentified but certainly belonging to these genera, have been used in molecular analyses. All analyses supported two clades, which could be related to the shape of the sclerites present in the polyp stalks. One clade contained the specimens with characters for Stereonephthya along with the Chromonephthea specimen as a sister group. The other clade had a \'true\' Nephthea and Litophyton together with the specimens that could not be placed in any particular genus using the old classifi cation criteria. The consequences of these results for nephtheid classifi cation are discussed.
