  abstract = {{T}he family {E}uphylliidae consists of reef-building zooxanthellate scleractinian corals distributed across the {I}ndo-{P}acific. {S}even extant genera comprising a total of 22 valid species are currently recognised. {R}ecent studies have re-organised the taxonomy of the family at the genus level based on molecular and morphological data, including a comprehensiverevision of {E}uphyllia and the resurrection of {F}imbriaphyllia. {H}ere, three mitochondrial loci (coi, 12{S} r{RNA}, and 16{S} r{RNA}) were sequenced and morphological examinations were conducted at three scales (macro/micromorphology and microstructure of the skeleton, and polyp morphology) to study the phylogeny and taxonomy of {E}uphylliidae. {W}e analysed a total of 11 valid species collected from seven {I}ndo-{P}acific localities. {T}he monotypic genus {C}oeloseris, currently in {A}gariciidae, was also investigated since previous molecular data suggested a close relationship with the {E}uphylliidae. {M}olecular and morphological phylogenetic trees were broadly concordant in the definition of genus-level clades. {A}ll analysed genera, i.e., {C}tenella, {E}uphyllia, {F}imbriaphyllia, {G}alaxea, and {G}yrosmilia, were reciprocally monophyletic based on molecular results. {C}oeloseris was nested within the family and, therefore, is formally moved into {E}uphylliidae. {U}pdated morphological diagnoses are provided for each investigated genus. {T}his study further demonstrated that a phylogenetic classification of scleractinian corals can be achieved by applying a combined morpho-molecular approach. {F}inally, we encourage phylogenetic and taxonomic studies of the euphylliid taxa not yet analysed molecularly, such as the monotypic genera {M}ontigyra and {S}implastrea.},
