Sinularia leptoclados (Ehrenberg, 1834) is re-described. Sinularia leptoclados var. gonatodes Kolonko, 1926 is synonymized with Sinularia maxima Verseveldt, 1977. Two new species of Sinularia with digitiform lobules, leptoclados-type surface clubs and unbranched interior spindles, are described. An updated maximum likelihood tree of Sinularia species with leptoclados-type clubs (clade 5C) based on two mitochondrial genes (mtMutS, COI) and a nuclear gene (28S rDNA) is presented.
重新描述了细枝软珊瑚(Sinularia leptoclados (Ehrenberg, 1834))。细枝软珊瑚戈纳托德斯变种(Sinularia leptoclados var. gonatodes Kolonko, 1926)被认定为与大软珊瑚(Sinularia maxima Verseveldt, 1977)同义。描述了两种具有指状小叶、细枝型表面棒状体和无分支内部纺锤体的新软珊瑚物种。基于两个线粒体基因(mtMutS、COI)和一个核基因(28S rDNA),给出了具有细枝型棒状体的软珊瑚物种(进化枝5C)的更新最大似然树。
