The ethanol–preserved +holotype +colonies are light cream. + + + + +Variation +. The morphological features of the sequenced SMNHTAU colonies (see additional material above) resemble the +holotype +, except in size. They similarly feature a thin spreading membrane attached to a hard calcareous substrate or sand grains. The polyps can be up to +20 mm +long (e. g. +Fig. 2B, C +: SMNHTAU_Co_36007) with their pinnules arranged in 2–4 rows with a variable number of pinnules on the outermost one (14–25). In all examined colonies the polyps and all the pinnules are expanded. The sclerites of SMNHTAU_Co_36007 are slightly larger compared to those of the +holotype +, up to 0.016 x +0.021 mm +in diameter ( +Fig. 4A +). Their smooth margin and granular surface microstructure ( +Fig. 4B +) agree with the +holotype +.

The ethanol-preserved samples are cream or light brown. + + + + +Remarks +. The current study is the first to re-describe the +holotype +of + +S. flava + +since its establishment by +May (1898) +. The original description of the +holotype +material by May corresponds well to the current findings. The current SEM images of the +holotype +sclerites are the first to reveal their surface microstructure ( +Fig. 3 +), which is also considered to be diagnostic for several other xeniid genera (see Discussion below). It should be noted that the correct authority year of the species should be 1898 and not 1899, as erroneously appears in several publications ( +Thomson & Mackinnon 1910 +, +Roxas 1933 +, Tixier-Durivualt 1966, +Benayahu 1993 +, +Alderslade 2000 +). Indeed, both of May’s publications (of 1898 and 1899) provide a similar taxonomic description of + +C. flava + +, but the former unquestionably should be prioritized. In addition, +Hickson (1931) +incorrectly referred to 1900 as the authority year of the species. + + +The other material examined in the current study exhibits some morphological variation with respect to the number of rows of pinnules and the number of pinnules in the outermost row. These findings further demonstrate the intraspecific variation of these characters, which are commonly used in the taxonomic literature for xeniid species delineation (e.g. Benayahu +et al. +2021). It should be noted that the morphological features of SMNHTAU_Co_ 27901 collected from Sodwana Bay ( +South Africa +) and identified as + +A. flava + +(see +Benayahu 1993 +, +Alderslade 2000 +) agree with the +holotype +of + +S. flava + +, and therefore its identification has been changed accordingly. + + +All of the sequenced samples (see other SMNHTAU material above) have been assigned to MOTU23 ( + +McFadden +et al. +2019 + +), thus indicating that the geographic distribution of + +S. flava + +includes the western Indian Ocean coral reefs ( +Fig. 1 +). It is still questionable whether its distribution includes the Pacific Ocean, as suggested in several past studies based only on morphological identification (e. g. +Taiwan +: + +Benayahu +et al. +2004 + +, +Hong Kong +: +Benayahu & Fabricius 2010 +and +Singapore +: +Benayahu & Chou 2010 +). Unfortunately, the latter samples are not appropriate for genetic analysis and, therefore, a conclusive taxonomic assignment of these samples still awaits future studies. + + +Living features +. The encrusting live colonies feature a basal spreading membrane attached to the reef substrate, an expanded, relatively long, almost white, polyp body ( +Fig. 5A +), and dark brown tentacles ( +Fig. 5A, B +). The latter coloration is provided by the presence of numerous symbiotic algal cells. + + + + +Distribution. +Zanzibar +, +Tanzania +, +Kenya +, +Madagascar +, +South Africa +( +Fig. 1 +). + + + + \ No newline at end of file
