FIGURE 5. Results of the phylogenetic analyses. A, The single most parsimonious tree from TNT, with character evolution of Scatimus; all characters states are treated as unordered and equally weighted. Characters were mapped on branches using unambiguous character changes in Winclada (black circles, non homoplasious changes; white circles, homoplasious changes); numbers above the circles indicate characters, and number below circles indicate their states. B), Strict consensus of the five most parsimonious trees (length = 122 steps; consistency index = 0.680; retention index = 0.811) obtained with heuristic search. Clade support is indicated on branches (Bremer support values/bootstrap proportions).
