Abstract

Veron (1990) described 24 new species from Japan and other countries in the "PhilippinesJapan island chain" including Goniopora cellulosa Veron 1990, Hydnophora bonsai Veron 1990, and Goniastrea deformis Veron 1990. These three species has thus far been reported only from Japan (Veron 1998 Veron and Fenner 2000 Fenner 2001 Fenner 2002) except for G. deformis in the Red Sea (Veron 2000) and a visual record of it from the Philippines (Veron and Fenner 2000), and H. bonsai in Raja Ampat Islands, Papua Province, Indonesia (Veron 2002). In this paper, we describe specimens of these three species collected from western Luzon and along the Kuroshio current on the eastern coast of the Philippines (Fig. 1) thereby extending their ranges farther south and west. This also increases the number of species reported from the Philippines to 464 from the 462 species reported by Veron and Fenner (2000). The Philippines now has 18 species of Goniopora, six species of Hydnophora and nine species of Goniastrea as compared to other nearby countries (e.g. Togean and Banggai Islands, Indonesia with four species of Goniopora, five species of Hydnophora, and four Goniastrea species; Raja Ampat Islands, Papua Province, Indonesia with 17 species of Goniopora, six species of Hydnophora and seven Goniastrea species Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea with 11 species of Goniopora, five species of Hydnophora and seven Goniastrea species). Ninety-three percent of the Japanese coral fauna (as inferred from Veron 1992) is shared with the Philippines (based on Veron and Fenner 2000) further emphasizing the likely role of the Kuroshio current in Japanese coral diversity. Specimens described here are deposited at the Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines. All specimens were collected by WY Licuanan.
日本核孢子虫的活动范围扩展到菲律宾
Veron(1990)描述了来自日本和“菲日岛链”其他国家的24个新种,包括Goniastrea cellulosa Veron 1990、hydronophora bonsai Veron 1990和Goniastrea deformis Veron 1990。这三个物种迄今为止只在日本报道过(Veron 1998, Veron and Fenner 2000, Fenner 2001, Fenner 2002),除了红海的G. deformis (Veron 2000)和菲律宾的一个视觉记录(Veron and Fenner 2000),以及印度尼西亚巴布亚省Raja Ampat群岛的H. bonsai (Veron 2002)。在本文中,我们描述了从吕宋岛西部和菲律宾东海岸黑潮沿岸收集的这三个物种的标本(图1),从而将它们的活动范围进一步向南和向西扩展。这也使菲律宾报告的物种数量从Veron和Fenner(2000)报告的462种增加到464种。菲律宾现在有18种Goniopora, 6种hydronophora和9种Goniastrea,而其他附近国家(例如toan和Banggai群岛,印度尼西亚有4种Goniopora, 5种hydronophora和4种Goniastrea);印度尼西亚巴布亚省拉加安帕特群岛有17种Goniopora, 6种hydronophora和7种Goniastrea。巴布亚新几内亚米尔恩湾省有11种Goniopora, 5种hydronophora和7种Goniastrea)。日本93%的珊瑚动物群(根据Veron 1992年的推断)与菲律宾共享(根据Veron和Fenner 2000年的推断),进一步强调了黑潮在日本珊瑚多样性中的可能作用。这里描述的标本存放在菲律宾大学海洋科学研究所。所有标本均由李川南采集。
