摘要

Two previously described taxa of soft corals, each apparently endemic to southern Africa, are each given new generic names. The two species were originally described in the genus Alcyonium Linnaeus, 1758, but are shown here to belong to distinct genera. Several southern African soft coral taxa share a similar growth form, i.e., unbranched, digitiform to capitate, with a conspicuously elongated stalk, and polyps restricted to a distal polyparium. A comparison of superficially similar taxa is provided, along with a revised faunistic analysis regarding diversity and endemism in the Octocorallia of southern Africa.
