See SI Appendix for the lists of species included in each taxon.
*Sequence characters are for the COI barcode region and only their combination is diagnostic to distinguish from former genera of these species. Notation A79T means position 79 is T, changed from A in the ancestor; 59C means position 59 is C, but the ancestral state is unclear.
†
All names are treated as nouns in the nominative singular.
