Abstract
⺠An extended COI and rDNA phylogeny of the scleractinian Robust clade is presented. ⺠Indian Ocean taxa and populations are analyzed for the first time. ⺠The genus Parasimplastrea, not related to the Bigmessidae, is closest to Blastomussa. ⺠Plasticity of the unresolved Favites and Favia is shown at species and clade level. ⺠Intraspecific divergences between Indian and Pacific Ocean populations are detected.
