New Records. — Akebono Maru 7234, 53°12.0'S, 74°51.6'W, 396 m, 12 Nov 1978, 4 coralla, MNHNS; Akebono Maru 7290, 55°06.2'S, 71°58.7'W, 132 m, 19 Nov 1978, 3 coralla, MNHNS.
Remarks. — Squires (1969) was the first to indicate this species occurring in Chile, from the Drake Passage off Cape Horn, these three records later documented by Cairns (1982) from 494–1137 m. Specimens reported herein extend the Chilean distribution farther northward to off Isla Desolación (53°S) and to a depth of 132 m. The main distribution of this species is off Venezuela Tierra del Fuego, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia at depths of 75–780 m (Cairns 1982). It is unique among the Chilean coral fauna as being the only known dendrophylliid species. It is described and illustrated by Cairns (1982).
