| Abstract | Nine new species of Xarifia are described from various Indo-Pacific corals from Madagascar (Goniopora, Gyrosmilia, Hydnophora, Montipora, Physogyra) and the Moluccas (Euphyllia, Goniopora, Hydnophora). A single male of an undetermined species of Xarifia is reported from Fungia in the Moluccas. A new xarifiid genus is described from Fungia in Madagascar. The family Xarifiidae now contains four genera (Xarifia, Orstomella, Lipochrus, and Zazaranus) with more than 50 described species. A key to the four genera is provided. | ||||||
