Description

Caryophyllia barbadensis Cairns, 1979

Fig. 2D–E

Caryophyllia barbadensis Cairns, 1979: 60–61, pl. 8, figs. 7–9, pl. 9, fig. 1, Map 11 (description and illustrations).— Zibrowius, 1988: 135 (listed).— Cairns et al., 1994: 8.— Cairns, 2000: 68–69.— Reyes et al., 2005: 324 (listed).— Kitahara, 2007: 500, fig. 2J.— Santodomingo et al., 2007: 286 (listed).

Remarks: Our specimens of C. barbadensis have no significant differences with those described by Cairns (1979). Colombian specimens were collected settled on fossil reef coral limestone.

Distribution: Barbados, Louisiana, and off southern Brazil, from 129 to 249 m depth (Cairns 2000). In Colombia, C. barbadensis was collected off the San Bernardo Islands, from 123 to 155 m depth. These records extend the distribution of C. barbadensis to the southern Caribbean coast.

Material: INV CNI669, 1 specimen, E155; INV CNI2935, 6 specimens, C2.
