Astrogorgia

description: Genus: Astrogorgia
Preliminary remarks: Species of this genus are extremely difficult to identify because they virtually only contain spindles, and attempts to recognise different taxa are heavily reliant on detailed analyses of the shape and tuberculation of the sclerites and their arrangement in the polyps and calyces being clearly presented in species descriptions. Additionally, branching tends to be irregular and may not differ greatly between species. Any descriptions should ideally be based on multiple specimens to try to cope with character differences that may only be due to intraspecific variation and species can only be separated if descriptions contain these fine details. Unfortunately, such descriptions are rare.
As mentioned above for the acanthogorgiid genus Muricella, owing to early confusion, species of that genus were thought to have a calyx and retractile polyps, and consequently most species of Muricella in the older literature are actually species of Astrogorgia in the family Plexauridae.The genus Acanthomuricea is a junior synonym of Astrogorgia. It was employed by Grasshoff (1999: 45 & 2000: 76) only for practical reasons to separate those Astrogorgia species where some of the coenenchymal spindles are very long and exceed the width of the branch on which they occur, but herein only the genus Astrogorgia is used. There are 32 nominal species of Astrogorgia and Acanthomuricea combined, and similar to what Samimi-Namin & van Ofwegen (2009) said about Muricella, we believe that without thorough revision of the genus Astrogorgia it is virtually impossible to identify species of this genus.

description: This thesis explores Iranian memoirs as an Islamic feminist space. It details a brief history of Iran 1900-present, an exploration of Islam and its importance to women’s rights and the development, and lack there of, with reference to women’s roles in Iranian society throughout the past 100 years. The work argues that these memoirs create a space, much like western autobiographies, in which women can tell their stories and therefore create a history of their own through the pages of the memoir. This thesis assesses the differences between eastern and western feminist thought through examining the burgeoning discipline of Islamic feminism. The importance of understanding women’s roles in Islamic society through the lens of Islamic feminism, which is inherently more culturally sensitive to Iranian culture, is the foundation of this work. By exploring the memoir as a platform for Iranian female expression the goal of this work is to expound upon the definition of memoir, to allow the memoir to be seen as academic within the discipline of literature.    Each section of this thesis explores parts of the history and development of Iran and its women. Breaking down women’s rights into public and private space, the interaction of men and women, education of women, historical development of the rights of women, the defining characteristics of Islamic feminism, what makes these memoirs literary in nature and finally dealing with the three memoirs in the all aforementioned contexts. Concluding the thesis with the argument that these memoirs allow Iranian women to become a part of history in their own context, and to hold onto the Iran that they love through their own words and memories in the pages of their memoirs.

Astrogorgia anastomosan

description: Astrogorgia anastomosan Fernando, 2011 (species status uncertain)
Astrogorgia anastomosan Fernando, 2011: 70–71, pl. 46, fig. 1–1d (Puducherry): Fernando et al. 2017: 153, pl. 71, fig. 1–1d (SE coast of India).
Opinion: This species does occur in the region but its status is uncertain. It seems very similar to Astrogorgia cuddalorensis.
Justification:
Literature analysis: The descriptions of the Indian material by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) are identical, but without detailed descriptions and more images of the sclerites, including the polyp armature, and close-up images of the polyps and calyces it is not possible to distinguish this species from other nominal species. Even then, without a revision of the genus, or examination of the type specimens, it would probably be impossible to assess its validity as a new species. However, the large irregular and branched coenenchymal sclerites are not expected in this genus and it would appear to be closely related to Astrogorgia cuddalorensis Fernando, 2011, and also has similarities to A. krusadiensis Fernando, 2011 and A. macrosclera Fernando, 2011.

Distribution
This subspecies inhabits the Arabian Peninsula (Oman, UAE) and is distinguished mainly by red terga (Figs 13–14). Also conspicuous are the zones of snow white, felted, adpressed pubescence on the face, particularly on frontal area and pronotum, and white, felted, upstanding hairs on the mesopleura, particularly the front as well as the posterior propodeal surface and the lateral fields above. This pubescence marks the subspecies as a desert form (Ebmer 2008: 560; Dathe 2009: 385). Specimens from Oman and UAE have red terga, whereas those from Yemen, identified as L. villosulum by Ebmer (D. Notton, unpublished new record), have dark black terga. Maybe there is more taxonomic complexity here, but it is outside the scope of the current project to further examine this. It may correlate with topography and climate since Oman and UAE are generally lower altitude (hotter) and Yemen is generally higher altitude (cooler).

Oligarchy, cultural warfare, and stagecraft in William Shakespeare’s Measure for measure
Creators: name: Miller, Rachel E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: William Shakespeare’s Measure For Measure builds upon reception conditions in the Globe Theater to convey radical political messages to the audience.  The drama successfully depicts the societal problems resulting from England’s unique middle class expansion and heavily localized instances of cultural and class warfare.  After providing substantial historical context, this thesis explains why the central villain, Angelo, embodies the severe nature of the new oligarchy. Furthermore, the problematic Duke represents crucial flaws inherent in paternalistic rhetoric that sustained institutionalized power imbalances.  As social stratification continued to expand, state sanctioned abuses were inflicted upon the lower classes, including capital punishment, whipping, and lengthy prison sentences.  Shakespeare speaks out against class oppression by manipulating his audience’s collective emotions.  Mistress Overdone, Kate Keepdown, and Pompey experience harsh reprimands, and their performances encourage sympathy from the groundlings.  Lastly, carnival values are championed against local instances of oppression.  This essay focuses on the importance of stagecraft and language, and the ways these techniques are politically valuable in Shakespearean drama.

description: This paper closely examines the heroic Men and villainous enemies of J. R. R. Tolkien’s works, describing in detail the qualities that are required of each.  It also draws comparisons between Tolkien’s characters and their medieval romance predecessors, showing that Tolkien borrows heavily from that tradition for inspiration.  This paper asks what makes a hero; what makes a villain?  But while it highlights the clear cut definitions of what it requires to be considered a hero or villain, it also brings light to the questions regarding the goodness or wickedness associated with these archetypal figures.  Here, it is argued that Tolkien did not simply choose the medieval romance genre in order to imitate it; he chose it in order to enhance it.  The romance draws a clear line between the hero and his enemies, but rarely develops the characters sufficiently to allow the reader to judge their moral qualities.  There is a grey area that the romance shows, where the hero is not always good and the enemy is kept too far out of reach for the reader to examine closely, making it easy to call them bad, but more difficult to actually prove it.  Tolkien takes advantage of this grey area and expands on it.  He gives detailed histories to many of his villains, as with his heroes.  He allows the reader to explore all characters.  And he has created a universe where pure evil cannot exist, where evil is only goodness corrupted.  He makes all of his characters morally ambiguous at times, which not only makes them more interesting to his readers, but makes them more relatable as well.

description: Astrogorgia arborea (Thomson & Simpson, 1909) new comb.
Muricella arborea Thomson & Simpson, 1909: 255–257, pl. 3, fig. 1&5; pl. 8, fig. 18 (Arakan coast).
Opinion: This species does occur in the region but was originally misidentified.
Justification:
These Indian records seem to be either invalid or unconfirmable: Fernando 2011: 77, pl. 51, fig. 1–1c (Cuddalore) as Acanthomuricea arborea (Thomson & Simpson, 1909); Fernando et al. 2017: 167, pl. 76, fig. 1–1c (Cuddalore) as Acanthomuricea arborea.
Literature analysis: Originally described from the Arakan coast (Bay of Bengal) as a member of the genus Muricella, this species has retractile polyps and is considered to be a species of Astrogorgia. It was reassigned to Acanthomuricea by Grasshoff (2000: 76), which is a synonym of Astrogorgia. Fernando (2011) adopted Grasshoff’s reassignment, which was repeated in Fernando et al. (2017). However, their description of the arrangement of the calyx sclerites as being “obliquely placed” differs from that in the original where they were said to be arranged in a “definite manner” in 8 en chevron rows becoming almost longitudinal at the calyx rim. The original colony had white sclerites, but that of Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) has red sclerites.

Effects of attention and cognition on simulated driving
Creators: name: Martinez, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Participants performed a primary driving simulation task while concurrently carrying out a secondary cognitive interference task to test for attentional channel overload effects to either the driving or conversational task while performing under both conditions. The simulation involved a moderately difficult driving course and the secondary task required response to a spoken word version of the Baddeley Reasoning Test (1968). The variable manipulated was the spatial location of the Baddeley audio between audio located beside the driver (front seat passenger) and audio located behind the driver (rear seat passenger). The results showed participants made many more driving errors and answered far fewer Baddeley sentences correctly when the audio of the conversation was located to their right versus the behind location and the control condition, suggesting that the location of the conversational audio does play a role in driver distraction. These results are due to overlapping attentional channels. Driving while maintaining a conversation with a simulated front seat passenger demands greater attention and imposes greater risks than driving while maintaining a conversation with a rear seat passenger.

description: Countless scholarship has been written during the past forty years about the changing images of women throughout history. This research has been inspired by the woman’s liberation movement and the ever-changing roles of women in the family, workforce and political landscape. Less research has been conducted on the evolving images and ideals of masculinity in modern times. Not all images of masculinity are equal. Race, age and sexuality are variables affecting whether or not a man fits into the hegemonic-cultural ideal. Drawing upon the work of Harry Brod, Michael Kaufman, Dana Mihailescu, Anthony Rotundo, Sander Gilman and Eric Goldstein this paper will examine various images of masculinity created by author Philip Roth. By applying masculinities theories, as well as theories of otherness, to the fiction of Philip Roth it will be possible to observe patterns in Roth’s father/son and man/woman relationships in his novels. This research demonstrates that Roth utilizes evolving images of masculinity in order to address issues of the Jewish otherness and assimilation in his work. This project drew upon readings and research taken from three MALS graduate courses: Family in American Literature, Modern Jewish History and an Independent Study (which focused on the work of Saul Bellow and Philip Roth).

Muricella bengalensis Thomson & Henderson, 1906: 78, pl. 1, fig. 8, pl. 8, fig. 2 (Andamans; Bay of Bengal).
Opinion: This species occurs in the region but was originally misidentified.
Justification:
Literature analysis: This species was erected for material collected from the Bay of Bengal. The figured colony portions, particularly that in plate 1, fig. 8 can be interpreted as representing calyces and retractile polyps. As the sclerites of the calyces and coenenchyme are all spindles, we think it is safe to reassign the species to Astrogorgia. The specimen was described by Thomson & Henderson (1906) as being rose-red with a white tentacular operculum and appears to be very similar to A. milka Grasshoff, 2000, which is violet to pink with white calyces.

The glypican Dally is a target and mediator of BMP signaling in eggshell patterning
Creators: name: Lemon, David James
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) participate in the regulation of numerous cell signaling pathways in tissues throughout animal development. In Drosophila melanogaster, the HSPG Division-abnormally-delayed (Dally) acts as a co-receptor in several signaling pathways, including bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, during imaginal wing disc development.  Previously, it has been shown that dally is patterned in the follicle cells (FCs), a mono-layer of epithelial cells which surrounds the oocyte.  These cells derive the formation of the eggshell.  We found this pattern to be evolutionary conserved across Drosophila species.  Also, dally’s pattern spatially overlaps the BMP signaling domain, which was monitored by phosphorylated-Mothers-against-Dpp (P-MAD). Using genetic perturbations, we determine that in the FCs, dally is a downstream target of BMP signaling. Furthermore, in clones of cells null for dally, P-MAD is lost cell autonomously.  When dally was perturbed uniformly throughout the FCs the BMP signaling gradient was expanded or restricted in gain-of-function or loss-of-function, respectively.  Consequently, the FCs patterning shifted along the anterior-posterior axis.  Perturbing dally in the anterior domain of the FCs resulted in changes of eggshell morphology.  Specifically, the depletion of dally results in an overall increase in operculum length.  Based upon our results, and consistent with Dally’s role in wing imaginal discs, we propose a model by which Dally contributes to eggshell patterning along the anterior-posterior axis by regulating BMP signaling.

Risk and persistence of youth externalizing disorders
Creators: name: Hettenbach, Jennifer Lynn
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Research has established that families of youth with externalizing disorders are characterized by risky parent-child interaction (including high levels conflict and lower levels of both involvement and structure) and parents affected by psychopathology (major depression (MDD) and antisocial behavior (ASB)). However, given mixed results in this field, more comprehensive study of specific family risk factors among the spectrum of externalizing disorders is merited, especially given recent evidence that parental psychopathology and family interaction may be connected. Additionally, parental psychopathologies and risky parent-child interactions were investigated longitudinally, addressing how these family factors influence the persistence of externalizing disorders.  Participating families were drawn from the Minnesota Twin Family Study (MTFS), a community-based longitudinal study of twins and their families. Externalizing youth had lifetime diagnoses of CD, ODD, and ADHD; affected parents had lifetime diagnoses of MDD and antisocial behavior (DSM-III-R criteria, American Psychological Association, 1987). Parent-child interaction was assessed by the Parental Environment Questionnaire (PEQ).    Youth externalizing was generally related to parental MDD and ASB; with maternal diagnoses more strongly associated than paternal diagnoses. Higher levels of parent-child conflict, lower levels of parent-child involvement, and lower levels of parent-child structure (but not for mothers) were associated with externalizing disorders. Interactions of youth externalizing and maternal MDD indicated lower mother-child involvement for CD/ODD youth was not dependent upon depression. Interactions for externalizing youth and parental ASB similarly indicated that higher parent-child conflict, lower involvement and structure were not dependent upon parental ASB for CD/ODD youth, but may be for ADHD youth. Longitudinal results indicate that lower levels of involvement and higher levels of conflict predict both CD and ODD persistence, but parental ASB was only predictive of CD persistence.      Possible mechanisms for the how interaction of youth and parent psychopathologies may relate to changes in parent-child interaction are discussed, including framing findings within a coercion theory model. This framework (Granic & Patterson, 2006) emphasizes that real time coercive parent-child interactions may develop into persistent patterns of rigid interactions over time, which may ultimately affect the child’s developmental trajectory towards future antisocial behavior. Potential pathways to externalizing disorders are discussed.
Discrete emotions, thwarted needs, and suicidality
Creators: name: Gunn, John
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: The present study had several aims. The first aim was to test the theory of Roseman and Kaiser (2001) which hypothesized that distress is more associated with suicidal behavior than sadness. The second aim was to compare the needs of the Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide (i.e., thwarted belonging and perceived burdensomeness) to the needs proposed by Shneidman (1996) (e.g., abasement, aggression) in their ability to predict suicidal behavior. The final aim was to do a series of exploratory analyses meant to test the role of various emotions and needs in suicidal behavior absent of any specific hypotheses. The emotional content of the notes were ascertained through the use of graduate student raters and analysis using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC), which was used to test the first aim independently of the raters’ results. The presence of the IPTS needs and the Shneidman needs were ascertained using the graduate student raters. Logistic regressions revealed that the emotions of sadness and distress were not significant predictors of suicide lethality, but that one motivational state of sadness (i.e., wanting to get (or keep) something pleasurable) and one of distress (i.e., wanting to get away from (or avoid) something painful) were predictive of suicide lethality. However, sadness’ motivational state was associated with lethal suicides while distress’ was associated with non-lethal suicides. Additionally, none of the Shneidman needs were significantly related to suicide lethality, while the IPTS needs (i.e., perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belonging) were marginally predictive of suicide lethality.

Astrogorgia bicolor

description: Astrogorgia bicolor Fernando, 2011 (species status uncertain)
Astrogorgia bicolor Fernando, 2011: 71–72, pl. 47, fig. 1–1c (Cuddalore); Fernando et al. 2017: 155, pl. 72, fig. 1–1c (Cuddalore).
Opinion: This species does occur in the region but its status is uncertain.
Justification:
Literature analysis: The descriptions of the Indian material by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) are identical, but some of the text is confusing. The polyps are said to have “…elevated calyces 1.0 mm of hemispherical shape 1.5 mm base”, but this is followed by “Calyces are mostly 1.5 mm high”. However, without detailed descriptions and more images of the sclerites, including the polyp armature, and close-up Images of the polyps and calyces it is not possible to distinguish this species from other nominal species. Even then, without a revision of the genus, it would probably be impossible to assess its validity as a new species.

description: Successful immunotherapy and tumor rejection has been reduced in many cases to the creation of appropriate inflammation. Although the immune system can discriminate between self and non-self antigens, this paradigm may not make sense in the context of immunity to tumors. A newly arising tumor may display novel antigens, but this is not enough to alert the immune system because\ they are not seen as a danger. We postulate that by incorporating genes to create a "danger signal" within the tumor itself, we can activate a T cell and train the immune system to see the tumor as a source of danger. To achieve our goals, we will express molecules that are involved in recognition and presentation as well as recruitment of immune cells. Tumor cells will be able to display tumor antigen (signal 1) and stimulate effector cells (signal 2). These phenomena will lead to the activation of an immune attack against tumor cells and hopefully result in tumor clearance. We will develop and evaluate several promising vaccine strategies, including retrovirus and cell-based vaccines. We will rigorously evaluate and optimize these vaccine strategies in vitro. Results from these studies will lead us towards the best strategy or strategies to use in obtaining an overall objective of developing an effective, appropriate immunotherapy for breast cancer.

The God of slow things
Creators: name: Haeflinger, Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: The God of Slow Things is a collection of poems that deal with the primary themes of family, travel, and love.  Divided into three sections, the poems are primarily free verse and rely on a blend of lyric and narrative impulses.  The first section is poems that deal mainly with my upbringing, my family, and how I navigate throughout the world.  It includes poems about or set in the places I have lived and traveled.  The second section is a collection of poems that imagine Walt Whitman coming back to present-day Camden and living in the house with my wife and I.  The third section are poems primarily about love and place, many of them set in or about the city of Camden, and often rely on the impulse to find beauty in the sadness and violence of the natural and human worlds.

description: In this paper, an examination of the correlation between the use of sexual images in advertising and feelings of discontent with body image in adolescent girls will take place.  It is this author’s opinion that the over-use of sexual images in advertising negatively effects how young girls perceive their bodies.  This author’s research question examined whether the increased use of sex as an advertising tool is associated with the way that an adolescent girl perceives her own body.  A literature search was also completed in which it was found that there is significant evidence to support this author’s claim.  A broad internet search was done to obtain the most common keywords, and then a more in-depth search was done to find appropriate articles.

Astrogorgia complanata

description: Astrogorgia complanata (Wright & Studer, 1889) new comb.
Muricella complanata Wright & Studer, 1889: 125–126 (Japan).
Opinion: There is no evidence that this species occurs in the region.
Justification:
These Indian records seem to be either invalid or unconfirmable: Thomson & Simpson, 1909: 247–248 (Andamans); Thomas & George, 1986: 102, fig. 1f, 1–3 (SW coast); Mary & Lazarus, 2004: 34, fig 6–7 (SW coast); Fernando, 2011: 35–36, pl. 13, fig. 1–1f (SW coast); Fernando et al. 2017: 68, pl. 27, fig. 1–1f (SW coast).
Literature analysis: Wright & Studer’s account of this species did not include any illustrations. Their specimen came from Japanese waters and is described as having retractile polyps and they most probably had a species of Astrogorgia. The species, however, remains unrecognisable and all records other than that of the holotype are most likely incorrect.
The account given by Thomson & Simpson (1909) described a specimen has having calyces and polyps with an “operculum” and a collaret, which was probably an Astrogorgia species. Thomas & George (1986) and Mary & Lazarus (2004) had a specimen with just spindles, but the nature of the polyps is not mentioned so it is not possible to determine what they had.
The accounts given by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) are identical, and it appears they did have a specimen of Muricella and therefore their material was not the same as that of Wright & Studer. There is some confusion regarding the coenchymal sclerites of the Indian material in their publications. The description states the “sclerites range in length between 0.5 and 0.9 mm but rarely reaching 1.2 mm ”. But in the Remarks section it states, “The longest surface spindles hither to (sic) recorded in this species are 1.4 mm long (Tuticorin to Kanyakumari), however in the present study the spindles are longer ranging between 2–2.5 mm ”. Rao & Devi (2003) just listed the species.

The role of hope and pride in organizational citizenship behavior and job performance
Creators: name: Floman, James Lyman

description: The positive psychology movement has swept across several domains of inquiry producing rich insights and applications. The notion of building on individuals’ strengths and promoting adaptive social behaviors has recently extended its reach into applied social psychology. One of the most studied topics in this subfield is organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). OCB occurs when an employee goes above and beyond the call of duty to help a coworker, without an extrinsic reward. Given OCB’s positive association with individual and organizational performance, there is intense interest in increasing these behaviors. General positive affect, above and beyond job satisfaction, is the most significant and robust predictor of citizenship behavior, and is also a major predictor of job performance. However, in light of mounting evidence on the discreteness of positive emotions – specifically on the emotions of hope and pride – there is reason to believe that not all positive emotions will equally motivate citizenship behavior or work performance. The present research tested the hypotheses that: (1) a laboratory induction of hope and pride would differentially increase intentions to engage in organizational volunteering (OCBs) compared to each other and to a control condition; and (2) hope and pride would differentially increase task performance (a proxy for job performance) compared to one another and to a control. Results indicate that hope and pride both significantly enhanced OCBs compared to the control condition, and that hope produced greater OCBs than pride. Although the latter difference was not statistically significant, this was likely due to insufficient statistical power. Hope and pride had no influence on performance. The difficulty of the task likely generated a degree of performance anxiety that reduced any positive emotion effects. Multiple regression analyses also revealed that joy was the most significant positive predictor, and pride the most significant negative predictor of OCBs; whereas pride was the most significant positive predictor, and joy the most significant negative predictor of performance. The distinct patterns of findings for hope, pride, and joy illuminated by the present study, support discrete emotion theories of positive emotions and may inform OCB-enhancement programs. Research limitations and future directions are considered.
Hear my roar

description: Hear My Roar: Protest in The History of Mary Prince, A West Indian Slave Narrative, argues that Prince’s narrative protests her mistreatment and that of her fellow slaves during a time when slaves and women typically had little power and no voice, while also cataloging various forms of resistance, including verbal, physical and social protest. Throughout The History, Prince describes various ways in which she was abused, while also illustrating the ways in which she defended herself and others from her abusers. This paper provides analysis and synthesis of the primary text along with secondary sources to show evidence of the active role that Prince took to ensure her own safety and dignity, as well as that of others. No matter the circumstances surrounding the publication of Prince’s story, she made a conscious decision to share her story and thus re-tell the various acts of violence and degradation that she endured. She also chose to tell how she was able to preserve some dignity through the abuse by performing various acts of protest. Through these acts of protest, as well as the re-telling, Prince was also ensuring that her voice was heard. In 1831, it was rare for a slave narrative to be published. Prince’s was the first of its kind to be published by a female slave, thus this narrative was the first to offer a voice other than  an abolitionist’s or male slave’s viewpoint on the atrocities of slavery. Through the  act of publication, the narrative allowed others to read and witness the abuse that she endured, as well as the subsequent progression of her personal development from a slave girl with no voice to a woman whose acts of resistance ultimately led to her freedom. Those acts of protest and resistance are the focus of this paper.
Understanding lesbian women’s restrained eating in the context of their romantic relationships

description: Although previous research has explored romantic partners’ influences on eating and dieting behaviors (e.g., Markey & Markey, 2010) these effects have not been examined among lesbian romantic partners, and there have been no studies that address partners’ effects on restrained eating behavior.  The present research examined relationship quality, partner dietary restraint, and body mass index (BMI) as predictors of women’s restrained eating behavior.  Seventy-two lesbian couples (M age = 30 years) completed questionnaires assessing relationship quality and restrained eating, and researchers measured their heights and weights to determine BMI. Restrained eating was negatively correlated between partners, and individuals’ emotional eating positively correlated with their uncontrolled eating.  Furthermore, individuals’ BMI predicted their overall eating practices. Actor-partner interdependence models showed significant actor, partner, and interaction effects of BMI on different components of restrained eating.  The current research contributes to our understanding of lesbian relationships and subculture, and women’s health within the context of their romantic relationships.

Opinion: This species does occur in the region but its status is uncertain. It seems very similar to A. anastomosan.
Justification:
Literature analysis: The descriptions of the Indian material by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al.

Even then, without a revision of the genus, it would probably be impossible to assess its validity as a new species. However, large irregular and branched coenenchymal sclerites are not expected in this genus and it would appear to be closely related to A. anastomosan and has similarities to A. krusadiensis and A. macrosclera.

description: Astrogorgia dubia (Nutting, 1910) new comb.
Muricella dubia Nutting, 1910: 34, pl. 5, figs. 2, 2a, pl. 19, fig. 13 (Flores Sea).
Opinion: There is no evidence that this species occurs in the region.
Justification:
These Indian records seem to be either invalid or unconfirmable: Thomas & George 1990: 419–420, pl. 1F, fig. 1C (1–3) (off Bombay); Thomas et al. 1998: 160, fig. 1A (1, 2) (Quilon).
Literature analysis: This species was erected for material from Indonesia and has calyces, retractile polyps and the sclerites are spindles, and it is better placed in Astrogorgia. Thomas & George (1990) also described what appears to be an Astrogorgia species, but the sclerites are “short and stout” and quite different from those figured by Nutting. Thomas et al. (1998) refers to the Thomas & George (1990) account and appear to describe the same species with “short and stout” sclerites.
