Corallianassa Manning, 1987 Remarks. Komai et al. (2015) diagnosed Corallianassa in detail. These authors also reviewed the complicated taxonomic history of the 13 species that they recognised. Two, Corallianassa articulata (Rathbun, 1906), long regarded as different from the other species (Manning, 1987; Dworschak, 1992), and C. collaroy (Poore and Griffin, 1979) have been transferred to another genus, Articullichirus Poore, Dworschak and Schnabel, 2022 (Poore et al., 2022). Three widespread Indo-West Pacific species that had been confused have been described relatively recently in detail: C. coutierei (Nobili, 1904) by Sakai (1999) and Dworschak (2018); C. borradailei (De Man, 1928) by Komai et al. (2015); and C. martensi (Miers, 1884) by Dworschak (2014) and Komai et al. (2015). Each species was well supported on a molecular phylogram derived from mitochondrial genes, 16S rRNA and 12S rRNA, plus nuclear genes, histone H3 and 18S rRNA (Robles et al., 2019). Poore et al. (2023) diagnosed and revised the synonymy of four Hawaiian species of Corallianassa: C. borradailei (De Man, 1928); C. lanceolata (Edmondson, 1944); C. martensi (Miers, 1884); and C. oahuensis (Edmondson, 1944). As a consequence the number of species is now six from the Indo-West Pacific and four from the Americas and Atlantic.
