Eunicella filiformis Studer, 1878a: 655 View in CoL , pl. 4, figs. 23 a–c.
Opinion: There is no evidence that this species occurs in the region.
Justification:
Literature analysis: This species was erected by Studer for material collected of the west coast of Africa and originally named Eunicea filiformis , but, shortly after, Studer (1878a) reassigned the species to Eunicella .
The only Indian reference is in a presented by Kumar et al. (2017: PY-B) where the species is presented with the authorship as “Studer, 1879”, and “1879 Scirpearia filiformis Studer ” is cited as a synonym. But Studer did not publish in that year, and Scirpearia filiformis is a species erected by Toeplitz and is a synonym of Ellisella filiformis . Kumar et al. (2017: PY-B) cited Scirpearia filiformis in Thomas & George (1986: 111) and Mary & Lazarus (2004: 42) as being synonymous, but the sclerite drawings in those papers are very rudimentary and do not look like they are from an ellisellid and are certainly not from a Eunicella colony.
