摘要

A population of alcyoniid soft corals assignable to the species Eleutherobia grayi(Thomson and Dean, 1931) is described from the Solomon Islands in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, a taxon previously known only from the Indonesian and Ryukyuan Archipelagos. The species is remarkable in that the anthocodiae are strikingly bioluminescent. This represents the first record of a bioluminescent soft coral, other than a dubious record for Alcyonium. Other octocorals for which bioluminescence has been verified are restricted to the gorgonian family Isididae and the Pennatulacea. A table of all octocorallian taxa in which bioluminescence has been recorded (along with newly presented data) is also included, along with a brief review of bioluminescence in the Octocorallia. Two additional species of Eleutherobia, which are presently unidentified and presumably undescribed, one from Palau, and the other from the Philippine and Mariana Archipelagos, are here reported to also bioluminesce.
