Maximum Likelihood phylogeny of the genus Psammophis based on a concatenated alignment of the cyt b, ND4 and c-mos genes (2,149 bp in total). The clade containing P. biseriatus, P. tanganicus and P. cornusafricae sp. nov. is highlighted in pink. Codes of samples newly sequenced for this study are in red. Locality details and original references of all samples are given in Suppl. material 1. Branch support is given in the order SH-aLRT/UFBoot/Standard bootstrap/MrBayes posterior probability.
