Figure 1. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of all available members of the Plectanocotylidae.

Figure 1

The tree was obtained by the ML method from COI sequences. All available sequences were used (18 new sequences + 3 from GenBank). Each species is represented by a clade with high bootstrap value. The two sequences from monogeneans collected in France (Jovelin & Justine, 2001) are assigned each to a clade: “Plectanocotyle sp.” to the P. lastovizae clade, and “Octoplectanocotyla obscurum” to the Triglicola obscura clade. Bootstrap values for nodes higher than species are low; Triglicola obscura is not a sister-group to Plectanocotyle in this tree. Scale: base differences per site.
