This total evidence based topology is well-resolved and congruent across analytical methods with strong support for the monophyly of the Chaenopsinae, all included genera and several internal nodes. A rapid radiation in the early evolution of chaenopsins is inferred from the relatively poor support values for relationships among basal lineages and their divergence into different habitats (rocky reefs, coral reefs and the reef/ sand interface). Rates of molecular evolution in chaenopsins, as inferred by divergence among four putative transisthmian geminate species pairs, are rapid compared to other fishes. Conflicts among genetic markers and morphology are especially evident within the genus Coralliozetus, with different species relationships supported by morphology, TMO-4C4, and RAG1 plus Rhodopsin. This study hypothesizes a novel sistergroup relationship between Ekemblemaria and Hemiemblemaria, consistent with morphological, molecular and habitat use data. Our total evidence phylogenetic hypothesis indicates that previously hypothesized morphological characters supporting a close relationship between Hemiemblemaria and Chaenopsis plus Lucayablennius resulted from convergent evolution in these relatively free-swimming blennies.} }
