Dendrobrachia Br. ' 
The generic diagnoses are-.: 
Sibopathes g. n. No secondary mesenteries. Tentacles in three pairs. Mouth sagittally 
very much elongated, on top of an elongated cone, higher at the sagittal ends. — Very primitive 
anatomy (no actinopharynx). 
Cladopathes (Brook) em. No secondary mesenteries. Tentacles in three pairs. Mouth 
obliquely elongated. High oral cone. Anatomy not very primitive (actinopharynx is present). 
Longest diameter of the actinopharynx coincides with the transversal axis. 
Bathypathes (Brook) em. Tentacles in three pairs; the three parts of the polyp per¬ 
taining to them are separated from one another by deep depressions. Colony with principally 
two rows of long unbranched branches, nearly in one plane. (Spines short triangular.). 
Sub-genus Eubathypathes (Br.) nom. nov. Base attached to foreign objects. 
Sub-genus Schizopathes Br. Base free and hooked. 
Taxipathes (Brook) em. Tentacles in three pairs; the three parts of the polyps pertaining 
to them are separated from one another by deep depressions. The mode of branching of the 
colony is not so simple as by Bathypathes ; the branching is irregular, the branches have 
secondary branches. (Spines not short and triangular.) 
Savagliopsis Schultze (Polyps?). The branched colony, except the ultimate branches, 
forms a crust on foreign objects. Spines not concrescent to a continuous crest. 
Tropidopathes Silb. (Polyps?). The branched colony, except the ultimate branches, forms 
a crust on foreign objects. Spines form on one side of the axis a continuous crest. 
Antipathes (Pall.) em. Polyps rounded or elliptical. Tentacles not isolated in pairs but 
more crowded. Colony branched. 
Sub-genus Ettantipathes nom. nov. Spines wholly or partly (in thinner places) concealed 
in the soft parts and at the utmost dimly to be seen through them. 
Sub-genus Aphanipathes (Brook) em. Polyps are thoroughly perforated, in all parts, by 
the long crowded spines.
