The coral genus is reviewed from Indonesia for the first time, following detailed collections made at 131 sites and additional material collected from approximately 40 sites throughout the archipelago during the period 1993-6. Eighty-three species are recorded, four of these ( and ) new to science, six first described in 1994 and six in 1997. Records are compared with specimen-based records from localities worldwide. The species of occurring in Indonesian waters include five recorded only from the Indian Ocean and Indonesia, seven recorded only from the Pacific Ocean, South China Sea and Indonesia, and a further 10 species apparently endemic to Indonesia, as well as widespread Indo-Pacific species. Two species ( Wallace, 1994 and Wallace, 1996) are recorded only from north central Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, and two species ( Wallace, 1994 and Wallace, 1994) only from north central Indonesia and north western Australia. The findings contribute to a new view of the corals of the Indo-Pacific 'centre of diversity' as a composite fauna with origins in a number of events in space and time.
在1993年至1996年期间，对印度尼西亚131个地点进行了详细采集，并从该群岛约40个地点收集了更多材料之后，首次对印度尼西亚的珊瑚属进行了综述。记录了83个物种，其中4个（ 和 ）为科学上新发现的，6个于1994年首次描述，6个于1997年首次描述。将记录与来自世界各地的基于标本的记录进行了比较。在印度尼西亚水域出现的 物种包括仅在印度洋和印度尼西亚记录到的5种，仅在太平洋、南海和印度尼西亚记录到的7种，另外还有10种显然是印度尼西亚特有的物种，以及广泛分布的印太物种。有两种（华莱士，1994年和华莱士，1996年）仅在印度尼西亚中北部和巴布亚新几内亚记录到，两种（华莱士，1994年和华莱士，1994年）仅在印度尼西亚中北部和澳大利亚西北部记录到。这些发现有助于形成一种新观点，即印太“多样性中心”的珊瑚是一个具有时空上多次起源的复合动物群。
