Taxonomy, systematics and biogeography of South African actiniaria and corallimorpharia

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

In this study, the systematics of the group is thus reviewed in its entirety for the first time in 74 years. Historical distributional data were gathered from the Iziko South African Museum (SAM) records, as well as from the uncatalogued wet collection, and from previously published literature. Photographic records submitted by SCUBA divers, and specimens collected during the course of this study provided more recent data.
