Pseudopterogorgia anastomosan Fernando 2011
Description
Pseudopterogorgia anastomosan Fernando, 2011 (species status uncertain)
Pseudopterogorgia anastomosan Fernando, 2011: 79–80, pl. 53, fig. 1–1c (Tuticorin); Fernando et al. 2017: 173, pl. 79, fig. 1–1d & 79a (Tuticorin).
Opinion: This species does occur in the region but it is probably the same as some of the other Pseudopterogorgia species described by Fernando (2011).
Justification:
Literature analysis: The descriptions of the Indian material by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) are identical and the species is possibly new, but without more detailed descriptions and larger illustrations of the sclerites it would be difficult to recognise and distinguish from some of their other species.
