Osteocephalus leprieurii View in CoL group

The majority rule consensus delimited one OTU for the entire Osteocephalus leprieurii group ( Fig. 1a View Fig ). Two species have been formally described in this group: Osteocephalus leprieurii Duméril & Bibron, 1841 ( Fig. 5a–b View Fig in the Appendix) from the Guiana Shield; and O. yasuni Ron & Pramuk, 1999 ( Fig. 5c–d View Fig in the Appendix) from western Amazonia . Given these two species are phenotypically distinct (see ‘Diagnosis’ section in Ron and Pramuk (1999)), the low divergence in 16S led to not detecting them as different in the majority rule consensus. Therefore, we included a terminal for each in the mitogenomic matrix from nearby sites to their type localities. Although with low support, three sequences clustering within the O. yasuni clade from Boa Vista, south bank of upper Negro River (MTR41294), and from the south bank of lower Japura River (MTR33656, 33683), Amazonas, Brazil, correspond to its first molecular records in Central Amazonia (Electronic Supplements 3 and 4). Two additional lineages phenotypically similar to O. leprieurii have been reported and labelled as ‘ O. leprieurii [Ca1–2] UCS’ by Jungfer et al. (2013), but we did not include additional terminals in the mitogenomic matrix for them because of their current lack of morphological and bioacoustics information. We considered them here part of O. leprieurii ; however, further systematic study and more variable markers are needed to delimit species and population structure within this widespread taxon.
