sp. n. from Kagoshima has a bright brown oral disk, while those from other regions have pink oral disks. However, sequences of these specimens collected from all regions formed a monophyletic clade for all genetic markers including ITS-rDNA. In terms of substrate organisms,
<taxonomicName lsidName="A. remengesaui" pageId="8" pageNumber="105" rank="species" species="remengesaui">A. remengesaui</taxonomicName>
sp. n. collected from all regions in this study was associated with black corals of the genus

. Here, we have described this group as a single species,
<taxonomicName lsidName="A. remengesaui" pageId="8" pageNumber="105" rank="species" species="remengesaui">A. remengesaui</taxonomicName>
sp. n., based on phylogeny and substrate specificity, although we have excluded some specimens for which we could not amplify ITS-rDNA successfully from the type series.
