Seven Ircinia morphospecies were collected from three sites in the Caribbean (Bocas del Toro, Panama; the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, Belize; and the Florida Keys, United States of America). Previous research used an integrative taxonomic framework (genome-wide SNP sampling and microbiome profiling) to delimit species boundaries among these Ircinia. Here, we present morphological descriptions for these species, six of which are new to science (Ircinia lowi sp. nov., Ircinia bocatorensis sp. nov., Ircinia radix sp. nov., Ircinia laeviconulosa sp. nov., Ircinia vansoesti sp. nov., Ircinia ruetzleri sp. nov.) in addition to one species conferre (Ircinia cf. reteplana Topsent, 1923).
从加勒比地区的三个地点(巴拿马的博卡斯德尔托罗;伯利兹的中美洲大堡礁;以及美国佛罗里达群岛)采集了七个石珊瑚属形态种。先前的研究使用了综合分类学框架(全基因组 SNP 采样和微生物组分析)来划定这些石珊瑚属种间的物种界限。在这里,我们为这些物种提供了形态描述,其中六个是科学新种(Ircinia lowi sp. nov.、Ircinia bocatorensis sp. nov.、Ircinia radix sp. nov.、Ircinia laeviconulosa sp. nov.、Ircinia vansoesti sp. nov.、Ircinia ruetzleri sp. nov.),此外还有一个形态相似种(Ircinia cf. reteplana Topsent, 1923)。
