Fig 1.
The ML consensus tree of seven taxa based on two molecular markers (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and rps16).
Numbers at the nodes are ML bootstrap values from 1000 replicates. Red filled round bullets indicate new species in the current study, and blue filled round bullets indicate previously recorded species.
