摘要

Abstract

Three deep-sea black corals belonging to the family Schizopathidae

are reported from two seamounts on the Caroline Ridge in the tropical Western Pacific:

Umbellapathes parva

sp. nov. with depth of 1 488-1 766 m

Telopathes

cf.

magna

MacIsaac & Best

2013

with depth of 937-1 016 m

and

Stauropathes

cf.

punctata

(

Roule

1905

Roule

) with depth of 942-1 353 m. The latter two species are the first records in the Western Pacific Ocean.

U. parva

sp. nov. is characterized by monopodial corallum

relatively long unpinnulated stalk with complex pinnulated branches developing from the lowermost primary pinnules and small spines. It differs from two known congeners by much smaller spines and the present of secondary pinnules.

. cf.

magna

MacIsaac & Best

2013

MacIsaac & Best

has sparsely branched corallum

relatively long and simple pinnules arranged in subopposite or alternate pairs.

. cf.

punctata

(

Roule

1905

Roule

1905

) is characterized by the corallum with almost planar pinnulated branches

and pinnules arranged in subopposite pairs. Our results indicate that the corallum size and shape are variable in conspecific specimens particularly those at different growth stages. By contrast

the size of the polypar spines as well as the abpolypar spines have little variation and can be served as a main differing feature for schizopathid species. The phylogenetic analyses using nuclear internal transcribed spacer region (spanning partial 18S rDNA

ITS1

5.8S

ITS2

and partial 28S rDNA) and two mitochondrial fragments

cox3

-IGR-

cox1

(COI) and

trnW

-IGR-

nad2

(NAD2) showed

Telopathes

Stauropathes

and

Bathypathes

had close relationships

and

Umbellapathes

formed a sister clade with

Alternatipathes
