Shown is the single optimization alignment tree based on 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA and histone 3. Nonparametric bootstrap supports are given above each node and partitioned Bremer supports are below each node in the order 18S/28S/H3. This topology is congruent with the maximum likelihood and bayesian topology (see Supplementary Information). Boxes at the end of nodes represent wing character states for males and females, respectively. n. sp., new species; spec. indet., undetermined species.
