Specimen The Natural History Museum, London [details]Spelling The incorrect spelling of coral (latin corallum, English coral) is striking, but is as the author published it, as the spelling 'corralophila' is repeated several times. There is no etymology but the species occurs in galls on stylasterid corals. [details]
