本文报道了具碳酸钙骨架的珊瑚一新属新种--龟井矮孔珊瑚Nanipora kamurai sp. n.，在日本冲绳的一个浅珊瑚礁中被描述。与大多数八珊瑚相反，骨骼由结晶文石组成，如蓝珊瑚Heliopora。对mtMutS、COI和ITS 1 -5. 8 s-ITS 2 - 28 S区序列的系统发育分析结果表明，矮孔藻属（Nanipora gen n.）标本应归入日光孔虫目。根据形态学研究结果，将其与石蛾科的光孔虫属包括Epifaxum属进行了比较，建立了石蛾科中的一个新属--矮孔虫属。这是第一次，一个密切的分子系统发育关系之间的Heliopora和Helioporacea内的一个相关属已被揭示。
A new genus and species of octocoral with a calcium-carbonate skeleton, Nanipora kamurai sp. n., is described from a shallow coral reef in Okinawa, Japan. Contrary to most octocorals, the skeleton is composed of crystalline aragonite as in blue coral Heliopora. The results of molecular phylogenetic analyses of sequences of mtMutS, COI, and ITS1-5.8s-ITS2-28S region suggest Nanipora gen. n. specimens should be included in order Helioporacea. Based on morphological results compared with other Helioporacea including the genus Epiphaxum (family Lithotelestidae), we establish the new genus Nanipora within Lithotelestidae. This is the first time that a close molecular phylogenetic relationship between Heliopora and a related genus within Helioporacea has been revealed.
