ABSTRACT
The Family Hydrozoanthidae are macrocnemic zoantharians, however their phylogenetic position is closer to brachycnemic zoantharians than to other macrocnemic zoantharians. Previous studies have indicated the presence of undescribed Hydrozoanthidae species from various locations in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. In this study, two new Hydrozoanthidae species, Aenigmanthus segoi gen. n., sp. n. and Hydrozoanthus sils sp. n., are described from Japanese and Palauan waters based on combined morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses utilizing multiple genetic markers. Additionally, Hydrozoanthidae consists of species with an obligate epizoic relationship with hydroids (Hydrozoanthus) and of species with facultative epizoic relationships (Aenigmanthus gen. n. and Terrazoanthus). Results of ancestral state reconstruction analyses indicate that Hydrozoanthus gained obligate epizoic relationships in their evolutionary history perhaps due to structural differences of host invertebrates.
