Gorgonian coral specimens from the   Holaxonia  , families   Gorgoniidae   and   Plexauridae   held in the collection of the  Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History  ( SBMNH ) were reviewed and evaluated for species identification. The specimens were collected from within, and adjacent areas of, the California Bight. The  SBMNH  collection has encompassed within it a large percentage of specimens collected by the Allan Hancock Foundation ( AHF ) ‘Velero’ Expeditions of 1931–1941 and 1948–1985. This historic collection displays an emphasis on species belonging to the   Holaxonia  , particularly the gorgoniids and plexaurids; thus, this second part presents a thorough discussion of well-known genera from within the California Bight, with more extensive discussions of several genera that have historically, and currently, led to confusion (and thus, misidentification). A brief discussion of a California Bight grouping, referred to within as the “red whips,” is presented; this grouping encompasses several species with very similar colony appearance across a number of genera. Two species, the gorgoniid    Leptogorgia   chilensis    (Verrill, 1868) and the plexaurid    Chromoplexaura   marki    (Kükenthal, 1913) each required the designation of a neotype from within the collection. A new species in the genus    Eugorgia    Verrill, 1868, a whip or thread-like form belonging to the family   Gorgoniidae  , is described. One additional plexaurid genus (   Placogorgia   ) is discussed, a genus not commonly reported for the California Bight region. This is the first comprehensive work, in three parts, focusing on all species of gorgonian coral known to inhabit the California Bight. This paper, Part II of the full work, continues the systematic review of all species represented in the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History research collection begun in Part I.
