Phylogeny of Maniola butterflies, according to Bayesian inference analysis of COI sequences with support values. Nominal species form intermixed clades that are not consistent with current taxonomy. Also each of the island endemics spreads through several clades. The only monophylum coinciding with a described species is represented by M. megala. The tree shows two main branches (Lineages A and B). Lineage A (light gray) predominantly contains Maniola telmessia,M. halicarnassus, and M. cypricola, whereas (Lineage B; dark gray) contains M. jurtina,M. nurag,M. chia, and M. megala. Lineage A shows a probability value of 76%. Black arrows indicate exceptional sequences which cluster with the “wrong” lineage.
