| Popis: | Family Myriopathidae Opresko, 2001 The family Myriopathidae is characterized by polyps with six primary and four secondary mesenteries that are 0.5��� 1.0 mm in transverse diameter, and possess short tentacles with rounded tips. The skeletal spines of the Myriopathidae are usually needle-shaped on smaller branches, and frequently forked or antler-like on larger branches (Bo, 2008; France et al., 2007; Opresko & Sanchez, 2005; Opresko, 2001;) Two genera, Cupressopathe s and Tanacetipathes, have previously been reported from Bermuda (Locke et al., 2013). However, Cupressopathe s was incorrectly reported from Bermuda due to an incorrect synonymization between Antipathes gracilis, which occurs throughout the Western Atlantic (Opresko, 2009; Opresko & Sanchez, 2005; Warner, 2005; Padilla & Lara, 2003; Cairns et al., 1993; Warner, 1981), and Cupressopathes gracilis, which is only known from the Indo-Pacific (Opresko, 2001). Tanacetipathes is the only genus within the family Myriopathidae that is currently known from Bermuda, and was documented as part of this study as well (Table 1).
