Family Stichodactylidae Andres, 1883 View in CoL
Dunn (1981) circumscribed Andres’ (1883) family Stichodactylidae to include only members of genera Stichodactyla and Heteractis . Following the reinstatement of family Heteractidae , England (1988) resurrected the genus Radianthus for the remaining members of the genus Heteractis that do not have macrobasic amastigophores in several regions of the body. However, recent molecular work recovered members of Thalassianthidae and R. magnifica nesting within Stichodactyla (e.g. Titus et al. 2019) rendering Stichodactylidae in its current circumscription paraphyletic. Rearrangement of the familial and generic circumscriptions and membership of Stichodactylidae and Thalassianthidae are anticipated, following a comprehensive revision of the group.
