03AA87CAFFECFFB8FEA2FCF7FB3F4E0F.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic note. The holotypes of A. abrolhos- ensis and A. gomezi were re-examined and found to be similar in the above characters. The entry for A. abrolhosensis in Veron, 2000: 256 includes a field photograph of A. pulchra (fig. 2) and appears to cover features that do not fit the original type description. Further literature.

03AA87CAFFE2FFB6FE81FF37FB7A4E17.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic note. It is possible that Acropora rotumana may be taken out of synonymy with A. abrotanoides, following the finding of ‘ populations’ of a colony form, dubbed the ‘ Pacific elkhorn’, in Arno Atoll in the Marshall Islands (Richards et al. 2010). This form, identified from its colony structure as probably a more mature form of A. rotumana than that exhibited by the holotype, showed some separation from other forms of A. abrotanoides in genetic analyses using nuclear (Pax-C) and mitochondrial (rnscox 3) gene regions. The authors considered that additional material from the type locality should be compared with the Arno Atoll material before any taxonomic decision is made. Further literature.

Specimen IGPS- 108946 at the Institute of Geology and Paleontology, Tohoku University, Japan, illustrated and described by Veron (2002: 53 - 55, figs 102, 103) as the ' holotype' (see discussion on p. 4 of the present work) is herein designated the lectotype of Acropora japonica, on the basis of Article 7 4.7 of the Fourth edition of the Code (ICZN 1999). Specimen MTQ-G 55861, mentioned in Veron (2002: 55) is similarly designated a paralectotype. Further literature: Nomura & Mezaki (2005)	en	Wallace, Carden C., Done, Barbara J., Muir, Paul R.

After re-examination of the type specimen (by C. Wallace.), this species is removed from the synonymy of A. nasuta and confirmed as a synonym of A. listeri.

03AA87CAFF9EFFCAFF0AFF30FCE54C63.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic note. Acropora navini is placed in synonymy with A. longicyathus because the holotype falls within the range of variability of the specimen holdings above: in particular, with G 39737, G 57529 and G 57994, all from the Great Barrier Reef.

The work of Mangubhai & Harrison (200 6), on reproduction of Acropora species in Kenya has shown it to be a valid species with reproducing populations in that area.

03AA87CAFF7AFF2EFE7AFF30FB874B5E.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic note. Acropora minuta is placed in synonymy with A. palmerae after comparing the holotype G 55796 with specimens G 33276, G 49361, G 55892, G 59080 and G 59475. The very small corallites noted on the A. minuta specimen represent a variation found in parts of coralla in A. palmerae specimens. In this species, corallite shape, size and number per unit area vary greatly, a phenomenon seen also at the base of branches in some other species in the A. robusta group, for example in A. robusta itself.

03AA87CAFF74FF20FED1FF30FB4E4AF9.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic note. This is now recognised as a hybrid. Although this morphological ‘ species’ is recognisable based on the skeleton, it has been demonstrated to occur only in the presence of the other two Caribbean species, as an F 1 hybrid. The appearance of this hybrid has differing characteristics depending on which species provide the eggs or sperm (Volmer and Palumbi, 2002, Van Oppen et al., 2000). Because the specimens do not belong directly to either of the parent species, we are retaining the separateness of the specimens by listing them here.	en	Wallace, Carden C., Done, Barbara J., Muir, Paul R.

Branches: tertiary branching order absent; length: 2 5 – 50 mm; diameter: 10.0 – 19.9 mm, axial-dominated, terete; radial crowding: not touching; axial / radial ratio:> 1: 10.

Coenosteum: same on and between radials: reticulo-costate; spinule shape: elaborate. Taxonomic note. Acropora torresiana is placed in synonymy with A. samoensis based on comparison of the holotype with G 2959 0 from Wye Reef and G 28230 from Osbourne Reef from Veron and Wallace (1984). We concluded that the A. torresiana holotype is an immature and rapidly growing example of A. samoensis.	en	Wallace, Carden C., Done, Barbara J., Muir, Paul R.

We have taken A. stoddarti out of the synonymy with A. divaricata (as given in Wallace 1999): however its precise identity remains elusive. While all specimens share similarities with A. divaricata, there is a high degree of variability, amongst the three specimens at hand, in the width of branches, which range from broad and strap-like to slender and tapering. The colony illustrated bears the greatest similarity to syntype X 2: 31 - 24 of Pillai and Scheer (1976). Further literature: Veron (2000) (some of the illustrated specimens may not be A. stoddarti).	en	Wallace, Carden C., Done, Barbara J., Muir, Paul R.

03AA87CAFF26FF72FE40FF30FB344D69.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic note. Acropora lamarcki Veron, 2000 is placed in synonymy with A. subulata following examination of specimens at MTQ that have been compared with the A. subulata type, i. e. G 54756 from Yemen, G 46530 from Taiwan and G 56155 from Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands. Of Acropora lamarcki, Veron (2000, 2002) states: ‘ This is a new name for what may have been Acropora corymbosa (Lamarck, 1816) ’. If this were true, then A. corymbosa would have to be the senior available name for A. lamarcki, and thus also the senior name for A. subulata (Dana, 1846) under the present subjective synonymy. However, A. corymbosa is more frequently linked with A. cytherea Dana, 1846 (Wallace 1978: 288). As a specimen thought to be the type of A. corymbosa has been sighted in the collection of the MNHN by both Brook (189 3) and Wells (cited in Wallace 1978), it seems advisable, at this time, to exercise caution in resurrecting Acropora corymbosa as the available name of either of the aforementioned species without a thorough attempt to locate Lamarck’s type specimen and be sure of its proper identity.

03AA87CAFF12FF46FE5FFF30FBB04BAB.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic note. Acropora cylindrica is a member of Isopora and is likely to be a synonym of I. togianensis. The holotype of A. cylindrica G 55819, illustrated by Veron (2002: 41), has relatively short and slender branches and, as noted in Veron (2002), does not have the ‘ Montipora - like tuberculae’ described for I. togianensis. In this it compares with smaller specimens in MTQ holdings of I. togianensis from the type locality. For example, G 55462, a juvenile 5 5 mm high, has no tuberculae; G 59104, 140 mm long, has tuberculae only around its base; additionally, branch tips (to at least 30 mm) in most specimens of I. togianensis are free of tuberculae. At present, there are no other specimens of I. cylindrica from which to verify the synonymy. Further literature: Wallace (1999), Veron (2000), Pillay et al. (2002), Chan et al.
