Phylogeny of Delatylus andersoni n. gen., n. sp. and closely related inferred from partial 18 S rRNA gene sequences by Bayesian analysis. Phylogeny was inferred under a GTR+I+G model (−lnL = 6333.834; AIC = 12687.668; freqA = 0.2384; freqC = 0.2036; freqG = 0.267; freqT = 0.2911; R(a) = 1.1233; R(b) = 3.698; R(c) = 2.4739; R(d) = 0.7402; R(e) = 5.1375; R(f) = 1; Pinva = 0.6096; Shape = 0.8015). Posterior probability values exceeding 50% are given on appropriate clades.
