Abstract

Heliolites caespitosa Salter (1873) is shown to be identical with Heliolites parvistella Roemer (1861) var. intricate Lindström (1899). The varietal name must, therefore, become caespitosa. Evidence is brought forward to suggest that the two varieties of this coral are the results of differing environments.
