Fig. 10. Bayesian phylogenetic tree of selected amblyceran genera and species based on partial mitochondrial gene COI. Tree is rooted with outgroup species Philopterus solus (Tendeiro, 1962). Posterior probability values are shown above the nodes (values <50% are not shown). Blue colour indicates species of Myrsidea Waterston, 1915 (M); green colour indicates species of Apomyrsidea gen. nov. (A); * symbol indicates a node between Myrsidea and Apomyrsidea.
