摘要
Rhizalcyon rhodora, a new genus and species of octocoral from the southern Caribbean is described and illustrated. The capitate colonial form superficially resembles Nidalia rubripunctata Verseveldt and Bayer (family Nidaliidae) but on the basis of its sclerites and unarmed polyps the genus is assigned to the family Alcyoniidae.
