  abstract = {{D}iversity in coral reef fishes is not evenly distributed and tends to accumulate in the {I}ndo-{M}alay-{P}hilippines {A}rchipelago ({IMPA}). {T}he comprehension of the mechanisms that initiated this pattern is in its infancy despite its importance for the conservation of coral reefs. {C}onsidering the {IMPA} either as an area of overlap or a cradle of marine biodiversity, the hypotheses proposed to account for this pattern rely on extant knowledge about taxonomy and species range distribution. {T}he recent large-scale use of standard molecular data ({DNA} barcoding), however, has revealed the importance of taking into account cryptic diversity when assessing tropical biodiversity. {W}e {DNA} barcoded 2276 specimens belonging to 668 coral reef fish species through a collaborative effort conducted concomitantly in both {I}ndian and {P}acific oceans to appraise the importance of cryptic diversity in species with an {I}ndo-{P}acific distribution range. {O}f the 141 species sampled on each side of the {IMPA}, 62 presented no spatial structure whereas 67 exhibited divergent lineages on each side of the {IMPA} with {K}2{P} distances ranging between 1% and 12%, and 12 presented several lineages with {K}2{P} distances ranging between 3% and 22%. {T}hus, from this initial pool of 141 nominal species with {I}ndo-{P}acific distribution, 79 dissolved into 165 biological units among which 162 were found in a single ocean. {T}his result is consistent with the view that the {IMPA} accumulates diversity as a consequence of its geological history, its location on the junction between the two main tropical oceans and the presence of a land bridge during glacial times in the {IMPA} that fostered allopatric divergence and secondary contacts between the {I}ndian and {P}acific oceans.},
