摘要

The eastern Pacific gorgonian genus Pacifigorgia Bayer, 1951, is here described from the northwestern fringe of the Galapagos Archipelago. The two small islands of Darwin and Wolf are relatively isolated from the rest of the archipelago. Two of the new taxa are apparently endemic to these outer islands, as previous subtidal surveys of the other Galapagos Islands, as well as other regions of the Panamic Biogeographic Province, have not encountered conspecific material. The third new species is apparently restricted to central islands of the archipelago. The previously described P. darwini (Hickson, 1928) is the most common and widespread species and is found throughout the archipelago, except for the outlying islands of Darwin and Wolf. A taxonomic assessment of Hickson's Gorgonia darwinii van douglasii is also included. The genus is restricted to the eastern Pacific (Gulf of California to Peru), with the exception of Pacifigorgia elegans, endemic to the tropical western Atlantic (Trinidad to Brazil). The addition of the new taxa described here makes twenty-one species belonging to the genus that are considered valid.
