Maximum-likelihood tree of Obama nungara and close relatives. The analyses involved 99 nucleotide sequences and there was a total of 255 positions in the final dataset. The matrix included a selection of available sequences of O. nungara and sequences of six other Obama species (noted with *), selected upon the absence of misreads. The percentage of trees in which the associated taxa clustered together is shown next to the branches (ML, Maximum Likelihood; NJ, Neighbour-Joining). Three clades are visible within O. nungara: ‘Argentina 1’, ‘Argentina 2’ and ‘Brazil’, named after the country of origin of the South American sequences. Specimens from various localities in Europe, including all specimens from France, were included in the ‘Argentina 1’ clade. A few specimens from Spain were included in the ‘Argentina 2’ clade. No specimen from Europe was found in the ‘Brazil’ clade. The geographic origin is indicated for each sequence; for France, the MNHN registration number of the specimen, the Department number and the administrative commune are indicated. The O. nungara clade includes many sequences that were deposited in GenBank under different names.
