    Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Biogeography of Mushroom Corals (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) (1989)
    In:  Zoologische Verhandelingen vol. 254 no. 1, pp. 1-295
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-12
    Description: The Fungiidae are mushroom corals that live in sublittoral habitats in the tropical Indo-Pacific.\nTheir habitats are part of coral reefs or other marine substrata, which usually can be found in the proximity of the reefs.\nIn the present taxonomic revision, the family is divided into 11 genera; one of which, Fungia, is subdivided into seven subgenera. A total of 40 species is described and figured, three of which are new to science. One species is renamed.\nThe stratigraphic distribution is given for all the species recorded in fossil state. A tentative phylogenetic reconstruction down to the species level is given. The cladogram that is provided should be considered a working hypothesis and not a sound basis for a completely revised classification and nomenclature of the Fungiidae.\nFor each species the presently known geographic range is mapped. The pattern of species richness in the Indo-Pacific is compared with that of some other taxa and discussed with respect to their distributional patterns. The ranges of the Fungiidae are analyzed with the use of approaches from both historical and ecological biogeography.

    Fungia (Verrillofungia) Spinifer spec. nov., a new Scleractinian Coral (Fungiidae) from the Indo-Malayan region (1987)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen vol. 61 no. 21, pp. 303-309

    Description: Summary: A new Fungia species from the Bismarck Sea is described and its taxonomic position is discussed.\n\nINTRODUCTION\nThe Fungiidae have an important place among Indo-Pacific scleractinian reef corals. Many nominal species have been described in this family, but only about 40 of them proved to be valid (Hoeksema, in prep.) which is roughly 10% of the total number of living Indo-Pacific reef coral species. Only a few of these species do not occur in the central part of the Indo-Pacific, or more specifically the Indo-Malayan Region. The new species has been collected by both authors from different locations in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.\nIn the most recent generic revision of the Fungiidae, the genera Fungia Lamarck, 1801 and Cycloseris Milne Edwards & Haime, 1849 are kept separate (Wells, 1966). The new species described below shows a combination of characters hitherto considered characteristic for either the former or the latter genus. Therefore the relationship between both genera is also discussed.\nThe type material is deposited at the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden (RMNH) and at the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique, Bruxelles (IRSNB).\n\nTAXONOMIC ACCOUNT\nFungia (Verrillofungia) spinifer spec. nov. (figs. 2-8) Type material. - RMNH 17620 (holotype); 17621,17622,17623, IRSNB 27009-401 (paratypes of Fungia spinifer, type loc. Laing Island, Bismarck Sea, Papua New Guinea); RMNH 17624, IRSNB 27009-402 (paratypes of F. spinifer, loc. Madang, Papua New Guinea).\nDescription. - The corals are solitary and free-living. The diameter of the specimens in the type series varies from 5.0 to 12.5 cm and their outline varies from circular to slightly oval. The aboral surface is either slightly concave, flat
