Fig. 3. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of Pristigasteridae. Coilia nasus is used to root the tree. Bootstrap proportions are indicated at nodes when > 65%. Branch lengths are proportional to number of substitutions. Generic classification follows Whitehead (1985). The specimen code of each specimen is indicated after its species name, followed by its geographic distribution (Indo-West Pacific [IWP] or East Atlantic or New World) and its subfamily assignment as established by Grande (1985) (Pritigasterinae [Prist.] or Pelloninae [Pellon.] or no subfamily).
