Abstract
A new genus of paralcyoniid soft corals (Octocorallia: Paralcyoniidae) from the Indo-West Pacific is described and named Ceeceenus. The new genus is compared with the related genera Paralcyonium Milne Edwards, 1850 and Studeriotes Thomson & Simpson, 1909. Four new species are described and included in the new genus. They were found in Thailand, Japan, Palau, Papua New Guinea and Tonga.
