Table 1. Characteristics of mtDNA datasets used in this study of Macronycteris commersoni . Patterns of sequence variability are presented for two mtDNA regions (CR and Cyt b) and the combined data matrix.

The total number of nucleotide sites, variable and parsimony informative sites, as well as nucleotide frequencies are given for each partition and the combined data matrix.

CR	146	481	132	91	32.90	27.00	25.80	14.34
Cyt b	146	703	76	52	26.90	27.36	30.57	15.18
