Phylogenetic results and haplotypes.
On the left: Maximum Likelihood tree obtained when analysing the combined data set (COI+16S+28S). Bootstrap support values (B) above nodes. Lineages considered are those with support of 100 B and relative length of branch length. On the right: Haplotype networks from markers: COI (colours correspond to bioregions, see legend); 16S (blue) and 28S (black). Size of circles corresponds to sample size (see legend on figure). Each network represents congruent results after TCS analysis of each of the three markers. Red lines indicate different network incongruent results from at least one marker.

Summary of results obtained through different methodologies.
From the left to the right: phylogenetic analysis (ML tree from combined data set (COI+16S+28S)); morphology; distances; TCS; mPTP. On the right: taxonomic proposal and geographic localities of samples. White dots represent missing data. Bars in grey (morphogroups G, H and P) represent variability regarding some of the selected morphological characters to differentiate morphospecies.
