The species from Japan and the Marshall Islands form the basal clade. The species from the tropical Indo-Pacific are not monophyletic. The species from the Atlantic Ocean and the Eastern Pacific from a clade that is a sister group to R. australis. The Indo-Pacific species Rostanga bifurcata forms a sister group to Rostanga dentacus.[4]
