Molecular systematic studies of the anthozoan class   Octocorallia   have revealed widespread incongruence between phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic classification at all levels of the Linnean hierarchy. Among the soft coral taxa in order   Malacalcyonacea  , the family   Alcyoniidae   and its type genus    Alcyonium    have both been recognised to be highly polyphyletic. A recent family-level revision of   Octocorallia   established a number of new families for genera formerly considered to belong to   Alcyoniidae  , but revision of    Alcyonium    is not yet complete. Previous molecular studies have supported the placement of    Alcyonium   verseveldti    (Benayahu, 1982) in family   Cladiellidae   rather than   Alcyoniidae  , phylogenetically distinct from the other three genera in that family. Here we describe a new genus,    Ofwegenum    gen. nov.  to accommodate    O.   verseveldti    comb. nov.  and three new species of that genus,    O.   coronalucis    sp. nov. ,    O.   kloogi    sp. nov. , and    O.   colli    sp. nov. , bringing the total number of species in this genus to four.    Ofwegenum    gen. nov.  is a rarely encountered genus so far known from only a few locations spanning the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. We present the morphological characters of each species and use molecular data from both DNA barcoding and target-enrichment of conserved elements to explore species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships within the genus.
