根据采自日本琉球群岛久美岛和冲绳岛的标本，记述了菊花属一新种。库米木兰(Comantus Kumi n.sp.)与所有十个同类动物不同的是，它的手臂非常细长，长度超过300毫米，而且色彩鲜艳。这种新物种白天将全身隐藏在珊瑚礁上的缝隙或小洞中，晚上只在珊瑚礁表面伸出几只细长的手臂。这种习性表明，这种新物种是夜间活动的。
A new species of the genus Comanthus A.H. Clark, 1908, is described on the basis of specimens collected from KumeIsland and Okinawa Island, the Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Comanthus kumi n. sp. is distinguished from all ten congeners byhaving extremely elongate arms exceeding 300 mm in length and the colouration in life. The new species concealed itswhole body in a crevice or small hole on coral reefs during the day and protruded only several elongate arms on the reef surface at night. This habit suggests that the new species is nocturnal.
