Eos

Eos comprises a fairly uniform clade of midsize lories with rounded tails and predominantly red plumage with blue and black patches, whose radiation dated to 3.7 Mya (1–6.3) occurred entirely in Indonesia; members of this clade are sister to Saudareos (fig. 14), the formerly Indonesian species of Trichoglossus . Relationships within Eos were poorly resolved (fig. 14) in our tree, likely due to poorer-quality samples. This lack of resolution limits what can be inferred about spatial history of the group. Smith et al. (2020) included subspecific sampling of all but two subspecies, and they found similar results of overall low support. It is of note that the Eos squamata squamata used in Smith et al. (2020) was mislabeled and is Eos squamata riciniata . Eos will require higher-quality genomic data to verify phylogenetic relationships.
