*Characters extracted from generic descriptions that were manually added to the matrix.

a

Expressions included in parentheses were coded under the same character state because they were considered synonymous.

b

Terms or expressions are presented in the format that they were extracted by the pipeline from the source literature. Underscore (e.g., “ellipsoid_oval”) signifies “to” or “or” (i.e., “ellipsoid to oval” or “ellipsoid or oval”).

c

Character name (no. of taxa with data); code: character state.

d

Equivalent character(s); code: character state.
