Comparison of calibrated and molecular-clock time estimates for important nodes in the BEAST phylogeny of Amietia. Lettered nodes correspond to those shown in Figure 5. Data are mean highest posterior densities (in million years ago), with ranges in parentheses. Secondary calibration points are provided in the methods.

Node	Calibrated	Molecular Clock
A: Split of Aubria and Amietia	57.86 (56.33–60.98)	55.38 (43.44–68.32)
B: A. sp. 1 from other Amietia	22.88 (16.45–29.63)	22.84 (17.79–28.39)
C: A. sp. 3-5 from A. sp. 6, A. desaegeri and A. lubrica	15.35 (10.96–20.0)	12.02 (9.4–14.87)
D: A. sp. 3 from A. sp. 4-5	11.98 (8.24–16.09)	9.21 (7.2–11.51)
E: A. sp. 4 from A. sp. 5	6.64 (3.99–9.62)	5.0 (3.65–6.5)
F: A. sp. 6 from A. desaegeri and A. lubrica	8.39 (5.1–12.04)	6.1 (4.53–7.81)
G: A. desaegeri from A. lubrica	5.28 (2.86–8.05)	3.95 (2.77–5.26)
