Five new species of deep-sea antipatharian corals are described from the North Pacific primarily collected off the coast of Alaska and on adjacent seamounts. All the species are referred to the family Schizopathidae. Described as new are: Alternatipathes mirabilis, Bathypathes ptiloides, Bathypathes tiburonae, Bathypathes alaskensis, and Parantipathes pluma. Illustrations of the type material of Bathypathes patula, B. patula var. plenispina and B. tenuis are provided for comparative proposes. Bathypathes patula var. plenispina is here recognized as a species distinct from B. patula, and B. tenuis is considered incertae sedis due to the poor condition of the type material.
本文主要描述了北太平洋深海角珊瑚中新发现的 5 个物种，这些物种均来自阿拉斯加沿海和相邻海山的深海采集。所有物种均属于角珊瑚科。新描述的物种包括：奇异拟角珊瑚、翼形骨突角珊瑚、长棘骨突角珊瑚、阿拉斯加骨突角珊瑚和羽枝拟角珊瑚。为了进行比较，本文还提供了翼形骨突角珊瑚、多刺翼形骨突角珊瑚和细骨突角珊瑚模式标本的插图。多刺翼形骨突角珊瑚在这里被认为是一个不同于翼形骨突角珊瑚的物种，而由于模式标本状况不佳，细骨突角珊瑚被认为是一个地位不确定的物种。
