Phylogenetic position of the family Stenocephalidae within the infraorder Pentatomomorpha and their associated Burkholderia symbionts. The ML tree illustrates the position of Stenocephalidae as a basal group within the superfamily Coreoidea. In total, 3,996 sites of concatenated mitochondrial COI (1,533 bp), ND6 (417 bp), cytB (1,125 bp), and ND1 (921 bp) protein coding gene sequences of 29 species were used. The mirioid species A. lucorum and L. lineolaris were used as outgroups. Accession numbers in the DNA database (DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank) are shown in square brackets. Bootstrap values higher than 50% are depicted at the nodes. Bayesian (MrBayes) and neighbor-joining (NJ) analyses gave essentially the same results (data not shown).
