RAxML phylogenetic reconstruction of Antipatharia and the position of Bathypathes thermophila sp. nov. (in purple) inferred from two molecular loci a the mitochondrial intergenic spacer between nad5-igr-nad1 and b the mitochondrial intergenic spacer between trnW-igr-nad2. Node values are maximum likelihood bootstrap values (> 70%). The genus Leiopathes was selected as outgroup. Sequences highlighted by (*) are representatives of the family Cladopathidae.
