Maximum likelihood tree of the combined analysis of COI and MutS. Numbers above nodes are bootstrap support percentages (BS) from RAxML, followed by Bayesian posterior probabilities (PP). Nodes with no numbers indicate support was less that 50% BS and 0.7 PP. A dash '-' indicates the node was not found in the Bayesian analysis.

Here, we report on the occurrence of the octocoral genus Swiftia, and describe a new species collected by the Alvin submersible off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The new species has been observed at around 1000 m depth, growing on authigenic carbonates near methane seeps. Swiftia sahlingi sp. nov. is characterised by having bright red colonies that are with limited branching, with slightly raised polyp-mounds, thin coenenchyme mainly composed of long warty spindles, and conspicuous plates. A molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the differences between this new taxon and the closest Swiftia species. The new species represents the first record of the genus from Costa Rica and in fact for the Eastern Tropical Pacific.
