Happon—The Actiniaria of Torres Straits. 423 
D. & M., belongs to this family. He states that the young of this species 
have verrucze which disappear in the adults, in this case it is very difficult 
to draw up a definition which will distinguish between this genus and 
Anemonia. 
The following species may for the present be regarded as belonging to this 
genus :— 
C. passiflora, . . . Duch. & Mich., 1866; MeM., 1889, p. 18; 1896, 
p- 181. (Bunodes passiflora, Andr., 1884, p. 231.) 
C. aurantiaca,. . . (D. Ch.), 1825, p. 438 (Actinia aurantiaca, D. Ch.; 
Cereactis aurantiaca, Andr., 1884, p. 238.); M°M., 
1889, p. 2]. 
C. erythrosoma, . . (Khr.), 1834, p. 33 (Actinia Isacmeea erythrosoma, 
Urticna, H. & E., Ehr.; Paractis erythrosoma, 
Klunz., 1877, p. 69 ; Anemonia erythrosoma, Andr., 
1884, p. 195); MeM., 1889, p. 21. 
C. cruentata, . . . (Dana), 1884 (Actinia cruentata, Dana, pl. 3, fig. 23; 
Bunodes cruentatus, Andr., 1884, p, 215); MeM., 
1893, p. 150. 
* ANTHEOPSIS, Simon. 
Actiniide with the column smooth below and with suckers above, with a well 
developed capitular rim (parapet), and numerous long tentacles of which most 
arise from the greater part of the surface of the greatly expanded oral disk; 
feeble endodermal ‘ circumscribed” sphincter. 
Simon (1892, p. 30) has constituted this new genus for ‘‘ Bunodes Koseirensis, 
Klunz. (1877, p. 77, pl. vi., figs. 1, 2). These tentacles are in numerous cycles 
(64+ 6 + 12 + 24 + 48+ 96 = 192) ; the pairs of mesenteries are similar in number 
and order to the tentacles; there are two pairs of directives; the first three cycles 
reach the cesophagus to a greater or less extent; all the larger mesenteries, 
including the directives are fertile”; ‘the small (‘ circumscribed’) sphincter is 
very similar to that of Anemonia sulcata.” This last comparison makes it clear 
that Dr. Simon does not make use of the term “ circumscribed” in precisely the 
same sense as it is usually employed in Actiniarian studies, 7.e. for the sphincter 
that is characteristic of the Bunodide or Urticina ( Tealia) crassicornis, for example. 
A. Koseirensis (Klunz).
