Flahellum macandrewi Gray, 1849 ( = Flabellum goodei Verrill, 

 1878, in part). Fairly common on continental slope froin 

 Virginia to Nova Scotia (180-667 m), 4.5°-8.3°C. Also 

 known in eastern Atlantic from Norway to Senegal 

 (128-1,170 m), 5°-7°C. Very similar to previous species but 

 differs in that it 1) is invariably found in fragments having 

 3-24 septa, 2) lacks a columella, 3) has a more jagged calicular 

 edge, and 4) has a shallower bathymetric range. (Zibrowius 

 1980.] 



Flabellum angulare Moseley, 1876. Known from southern 

 Nova Scotia south to the continental slope of South Carolina 

 (2,266-3,186 m), 2.5°-5.0°C. Also known in the eastern 

 Atlantic from off Scotland south to Morocco and the Azores 

 (1,647-2,800 m). Very similar to F. alabaslruin but differing 

 in that 1) the outline of the calice is always elliptical, not con- 

 stricted, and 2) the corallum is always white, never reddish 

 brown. [Zibrowius 1980.) 



Javania cailleri (Duchassaing and Michelotti, 1864) 

 ( = Desnwphyltum eburneuw Moseley, 1881; Desinophyllum 

 nobile Verrill, 1885). Known from off Banquereau Bank, 

 Nova Scotia, south to Oceanographer Canyon, off Cape 

 Cod, Mass., and the continental slope of Georgia south to 

 Burdwood Bank, Argentina; eastern Atlantic; Indian and 

 Pacific Oceans (400-2,165 m), 6°-16°C. Distinguished from 

 Desinophyllum crislagalli by a lesser number of septa and 

 porcelaneous theca; however, probably indistinguishable in 

 situ, i.e., from a submersible. (Cairns 1979.] 



Suborder DENDROPHYLLIINA 

 Family DKNDROPHVLI.IIDAE 



Fnallopsammia profunda (Pourtales, 1867). Known from 

 only three records off northeastern United States, all on con- 

 tinental slope off Georges Bank (1,211-1 ,748 m), 3.5 °-3.7 °C. 

 Also known from continental slope from South Carolina 

 south through Straits of Florida and Lesser Antilles 

 (403-1,337 m), 3°-12°C. Abundant on Blake Plateau and in 

 Straits of Florida where, along with Lophelia prollfera, it is a 

 primary constituent of deepwater coral banks. [Cairns 1979.] 



Fnallopsammia rosirala (Pourtales, \S1S)( = Fnallopsammia 

 amphelioldes (Alcock, 1902)). Known from only three 

 records off northeastern United States: continental slopes off 

 San Pablo, New England, and Atlantis 11 Seamounts 

 (1,174-1,646 m). Also known from continental slope from 

 Georgia to Brazil (5°-13°C.); eastern Atlantic, western and 

 central Pacific, Indian Oceans, and south of New Zealand 

 (229-2,165 m). Requires hard substrate to support large cor- 

 allum. Each calice bordered by a rostrum. [Cairns 1979.]
