We describe five new species of black corals from the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea, collected at depths ranging from 14 to 789 m: two in the family Antipathidae (Antipathes falkorae sp. nov. and Antipathes morrisi sp. nov.), two in the family Aphanipathidae (Aphanipathes flailum sp. nov. and Rhipidipathes helae sp. nov.), and one in the family Cladopathidae (Hexapathes bikofskii sp. nov.). We also present a phylogeny of 80 black corals reconstructed from a target capture dataset of ultraconserved elements and exons, to show the systematic relationships among new and nominal species. This phylogeny also represents a backbone for future species descriptions and research into the evolutionary history of the Antipatharia.
我们描述了从大堡礁和珊瑚海采集的5种新的黑珊瑚物种，采集深度在14至789米之间：2种属于角珊瑚科（新物种福尔科拉角珊瑚和莫里西角珊瑚），2种属于隐角珊瑚科（新物种鞭状隐角珊瑚和赫拉叶状角珊瑚），1种属于枝珊瑚科（新物种比科夫斯基六枝珊瑚）。我们还展示了从超保守元件和外显子的目标捕获数据集中重建的80种黑珊瑚的系统发育，以显示新物种和已命名物种之间的系统关系。这个系统发育也为未来的物种描述和角珊瑚目进化历史的研究提供了一个框架。
