  abstract = {{N}ovel micromorphological characters in combination with molecular studies have led to an extensive revision of the taxonomy and systematics of scleractinian corals. {I}n the present work, we investigate the macro- and micromorphology and the phylogenetic position of the genera {A}ustralomussa and {P}arascolymia, two monotypic genera ascribed to the family {L}obophylliidae. {T}he molecular phylogeny of both genera was addressed using three markers, the partial mitochondrial {COI} gene and the nuclear histone {H}3 and the ribosomal {ITS} region. {B}ased on molecular data, {A}ustralomussa and {P}arascolymia belong to the {L}obophylliidae and they cluster together with the genera {L}obophyllia and {S}ymphyllia within the same clade. {W}hile {A}. rowleyensis and {P}. vitiensis are closely related based on the three gene regions examined, their macro and micromorphology suggest that these species are distinct, differing in several characters, such as continuity and thickness of the costosepta, the number of septa, septal tooth height, spacing, and shape, and the distribution and shape of granules. {T}hus, we revise the taxonomic status of the genus {A}ustralomussa as a junior synonym of {P}arascolymia.},
