Some Actiniaria from the Commander Islands (Cnidaria: Anthozoa)

N.P. Sanamyan & K.E. Sanamyan

Abstract. Six species of sea anemones are found in material from the Commander Islands. A new genus and species of the family Isanthidae (Paraisanthus tamarae gen. et sp. n.) is described. Cnidopus Carlgren, 1934 (Actiniidae) is treated as a valid genus. Catch-tentacles previously known only in some acontiarian anemones are found in Cnidopus. The conspecificity of C. japonicus (Verrill, 1899) and C. ritteri (Torrey, 1902) is confirmed.
