 was intended to embrace more or less elongate Hat Fmujliv. without tentacular lobes 

 on the septa.

There was no original description; only a type-species was cited. This group 

 is composed of somewhat elongate, flat species, in which the tentacular lobes of the 

 septa are greatlj' dexeloped.

No diagnosis of the genus was published. It was established for the very large, 

 elongate Fiitiguf, the largest known, in which the septal margins are strongly 

 dentate, the dentations resembling, as the name implies, the teeth of a comb.

 No. 1 was considered by Leuckart to be wi'ongly identitied, and was named 



Fungia ehrenhei'gi '>.v him." Professor Doderlein, in his Die Korallengattung 

 Fungia.* i)laces Leuckart's Fungia ehrenliergi in the synonymy of Fungia echinata 

 (Pallas). Milne Edwards and Haime refer the four others'" to the synonymy of 

 Ilerpetolitka Umax (Esper) Eschscholtz, 1825. 



Therefore the genus IlaligJoxxa contained two genera, one part of which belongs 

 to Fungia Lamarck, 1801. the other to llei'j>rh>litha Eschscholtz, 1825,'' and conse- 

 quently must lapse.

rf Eschscholtz' s Herpetolitha (Ish, XVI, 182.5, p. 74ti), originally contained two species, Fnngln 

 limncinn and Fungia lulpu, of Lamarck. Milne Edwards and Haime, in 1849 (Comptes rend., XXIX, 

 p. "1 ), restricted IJerpctulillm to the first mentioned species (citing Madye/iord pilcits Ellis and Solander, 

 pi. .\Lv) and proposetl the genus Oriiplabacia lor the second.
