Notes:

USNM 1240235 has the same diagnosis as USMN 1240234 and is not Hypnogorgia sp. Instead, this specimen resembles Paracis sp., specifically the line drawings of Paracis enopla from The Alcyonaria of the “Blake” Expeditions: The Unpublished Plates. However, Paracis enopla is no longer considered a valid species and there is no record of a reclassification of this species.
