Type species

Lissogorgiaflexuosa Verrill, 1865; [subsequent diagnosis by Nutting 1910[16]].

Diagnosis

Colonies fan-shaped, branching in one plane, some anastomosing. Larger branches with axis often tending to be flattened at right angles to plane of fan; in older colonies, smaller branches can bend and grow perpendicular from the fan. Polyps prominent, low, wart-like, non-retractile; coenenchyme thick between polyps. Sclerites of polyp tentacles small rods; below anthocodiae, sclerites large and bow-shaped, in angled double rows (chevrons), forming eight marginal points, forming strong collaret; tentacular operculum distinct. Sclerites of coenenchyme in two distinct layers, mostly spindles (coarse or densely warted), small capstans, with some clubs or discoidal forms.

Remarks

Kükenthal (1924)[27] articulated the characteristics of this genus, which include: condition of the branch ends, position, orientation, height, and form of polyps, presence of an operculum, and arrangement of sclerites in the coenencyme. Fabricius and Alderslade (2001)[26] discussed aspects of comparison/contrast between this genus and others; it was stated, “not much separates this genus from Anthogorgia, and a study of a large suite of specimens could see the two synonymized.” Additionally, a characteristic feature pertinent to the genus diagnosis came from the Octocoral Taxonomy Laboratory Manual (2007): There are no calyces in the genus Muricella; “almost 90% of the species attributed to this genus do not belong there. A major revision is needed.” In reviewing older literature there were references to calyces in this genus; Bayer (1956a)[24] comments on the “truncated cones” or “rounded, low verrucae.” In descriptions given by Verrill (1869[28]a), reference is made to calyces, as well. The concept of how to define a calyx may need revisiting, notably with regards to this genus.
