Strict consensus trees of Alvinocarididae and synapomorphies (numbers in circles).
A, analysis 1 with Acanthephyra purpurea as the outgroup. B, analysis 2 with Alpheus echiurophilus as the outgroup. Supported clades are marked by different colors: Mirocaridinae (blue), Alvinocaridinae (pink), Rimicaridinae (light green), Rimicaris (green).

Statistically robust clades of Alvinocarididae with bootstrap support (numbers above the clade) and Bremer support (numbers below the clade in circles).
A, analysis 1 with Acanthephyra purpurea as outgroup. B, analysis 2 with Alpheus echiurophilus as outgroup. Supported clades are marked by different colors: Mirocaridinae (blue), Alvinocaridinae (pink), Rimicaridinae (light green), Rimicaris (green).
Fig 6.
Bayesian phylogenetic trees of the family Alvinocarididae based on COI gene (A) and 16 S gene (B) sequences.
The horizontal scale bar marks the number of expected substitutions per site. Statistical support indicated as Bayesian posterior probabilities (left values) and bootstrap analysis with 1,000 replicates (right values) and. Supported clades are marked by different colors: Mirocaridinae (blue), Alvinocaridinae (pink), Rimicaridinae (light green), Rimicaris (green).
