根据分子生物学资料和微形态及微结构特征，描述了印度-太平洋石珊瑚科Lobophylliidae。本研究基于COI和rDNA对该科9属32种植物进行了最全面的分子系统学重建，其中14种为首次研究。单系性的家庭现在得到了强烈的支持，包括属Acanthastrea和Micromussa，而以前它是基于不确定的分子关系。然而，这些和其他lobophylliid属Echinophyllia，Micromussa，Oxypora和Symphyllia，本身不是单系的，需要从形态学的角度进行研究。Acanthastrea faviaformis是Merulinidae家族的成员。这项研究强调了在物种水平上进一步分析和正式分类行动的必要性。(c)2014爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
The Indo-Pacific scleractinian coral family Lobophylliidae was recently described on the basis of molecular data and micromorphological and microstructural characters. We present the most comprehensive molecular phylogeny reconstruction of the family to date based on COI and rDNA including 9 genera and 32 species, 14 of which were investigated for the first time. The monophyly of the family is now strongly supported, with the inclusion of the genera Acanthastrea and Micromussa, whereas previously it was based on uncertain molecular relationships. Nevertheless, these and the other lobophylliid genera Echinophyllia, Micromussa, Oxypora, and Symphyllia, are not themselves monophyletic and need to be investigated from a morphological point of view. Acanthastrea faviaformis is nested within the family Merulinidae. This study highlights the need for further analyses at species level and of formal taxonomic actions. (c) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
