A new genus of scleriteless gorgonian, Huziogorgia gen. nov., is proposed based on the morphological and molecular study of a set of colonies identified as the recently described species Trichogorgia utinomii Cordeiro, 2019. Huziogorgia utinomii comb. nov. has planar colonies, lyrate to dichotomous, with long and flexible terminal branches. The polyps are no retractile, always extended, slightly trumpet-shaped, biserially placed, but not strictly. The axis is circular in cross section, showing concentric non-undulated layers. The materials were collected during three Antarctic cruises to the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland islands onboard the RV Polarstern (ANT XIX/3, ANT XXIII/8, and ANT XXIX/3). A molecular comparison based on mitochondrial genes (mtMutS and mtMutS+Igr1+COI) relates the new genus to the family Ifalukellidae Bayer, 1955 (Ifalukella Bayer, 1955, Trichogorgia (Hickson, 1904), Plumigorgia Nutting, 1910) and some genera of uncertain relationships, but currently related to the family Chrysogorgiidae Verrill, 1883 (Pleurogorgia Versluys, 1902 and Stephanogorgia Bayer & Muzik, 1976). Genetic distances between this species and the closest genera and families also suggest the separate placement of Huziogorgia gen. nov. in a new family, Huziogorgiidae fam. nov.

无硬毛的高粱属的新属Huziogorgia gen。根据对一组殖民地的形态学和分子研究提出的新发现，该殖民地被确定为最近描述的物种Trichogorgia utinomii Cordeiro，2019年。Huziogorgia utinomii梳。十一月 有平面菌落，裂解至二分，具长而柔软的末端分支。息肉没有伸缩性，总是伸展，略呈喇叭形，按双眼放置，但不严格。该轴的横截面为圆形，显示同心的非起伏层。这些材料是在RV Polarstern上的三次南极航行中到达南极半岛和南设得兰群岛的过程中收集的（ANT XIX / 3，ANT XXIII / 8和ANT XXIX / 3）。基于线粒体基因（mtMutS和mtMutS + Igr1 + COI）的分子比较将新属与Ifalukellidae Bayer家族，1955年（Ifalukella Bayer，1955年，Trichogorgia（Hickson，1904年），Plumigorgia Nutting，1910年）和一些不确定的属亲属关系，但目前与1883年Chrysogorgiidae Verrill家族有关（Pleurogorgia Versluys，1902年和Stephanogorgia Bayer＆Muzik，1976年）。该物种与最接近的属和科之间的遗传距离也暗示了胡氏动物的分开放置gen。十一月 在一个新的家庭，Huziogorgiidae家族。十一月
