Abstract
The taxonomy of the Indo-Pacific reef corals Lithactinia and
Polyphyllia is analyzed. They differ morphologically in that Lithactinia has one
founder calice and no significant secondaries and has a lighter construction. A
study of base area to weight ratios shows a significant difference, P < .001. They
have a mutually exclusive geographical distribution. These data suggest that
each is a valid genus.
