  abstract = {{R}ecent molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that most traditional families of zooxanthellate shallow-water scleractinians are polyphyletic, whereas most families mainly composed of deep-sea and azooxanthellate species are monophyletic. {I}n this context, the family {D}endrophylliidae ({C}nidaria, {S}cleractinia) has unique features. {I}t shows a remarkable variation of morphological and ecological traits by including species that are either colonial or solitary, zooxanthellate or azooxanthellate, and inhabiting shallow or deep water. {D}espite this morphological heterogeneity, recent molecular works have confirmed that this family is monophyletic. {N}evertheless, what so far is known about the evolutionary relationships within this family, is predominantly based on skeleton macromorphology, while most of its species have remained unstudied from a molecular point of view. {T}herefore, we analysed 11 dendrophylliid genera, four of which were investigated for the first time, and 30 species at molecular, micromorphological and microstructural levels. {W}e present a robust molecular phylogeny reconstruction based on two mitochondrial markers ({COI} and the intergenic spacer between {COI} and 16{S}) and one nuclear (r{DNA}), which is used as basis to compare micromorphogical and microstructural character states within the family. {T}he monophyly of the {D}endrophylliidae is well supported by molecular data and also by the presence of rapid accretion deposits, which are ca. 5 μm in diameter and arranged in irregular clusters, and fibres that thicken the skeleton organized in small patches of a few micrometres in diameter. {H}owever, all genera represented by at least two species are not monophyletic, {T}ubastraea excluded. {T}hey were defined by traditional macromorphological characters that appear affected by convergence, homoplasy and intraspecific variation. {M}icromorphogical and microstructural analyses do not support the distinction of clades, with the exception of the organization of thickening deposits for the {T}ubastraea clade.},
