Resurrecting a subgenus to genus: molecular phylogeny of and (order Scleractinia; family Euphyllidae; clade V).

Background: The corallum is crucial in building coral reefs and in diagnosing systematic relationships in the order Scleractinia. However, molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed a paraphyly in a majority of traditional families and genera among Scleractinia showing that other biological attributes of the coral, such as polyp morphology and reproductive traits, are underutilized. Among scleractinian genera, the , with nine nominal species in the Indo-Pacific region, is one of the groups that await phylogenetic resolution.
