THE gENUS WAS PARTIcUlARly WEll STUdIEd IN THE WESTERN ATlANTIc ( CAIRNS & BAyER, 2002 ; BAyER et al ., 2015) ANd IN THE INdO-PAcIfIc ( BAyER, 1982 ; CAIRNS, 2010 , 2016 , 2018; CAIRNS et al ., 2018), bUT EXAMINATIONS Of SPEcIMENS fROM OTHER AREAS ARE RARE IN THE lITERATURE. THEREfORE, THE gROUP IS IN NEEd Of A WORldWIdE REvISION. REcENT MOlEcUlAR ANAlySES AlSO SHOW THAT Callogorgia ANd Fanellia GRAy, 1870 ARE PARAPHylETIc gENERA ( TAylOR & ROgERS, 2017 ) ANd SHOUld bE TREATEd AS SyNONyMS ( CAIRNS & WIRSHINg, 2018 ).
