Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic tree reconstructed from the concatenated dataset of 12S, 16S, cytb, cmos, MC1R, NT3, and RAG1 genes (4,823 bp). The tree was rooted using Lytorhynchus diadema (not shown in the figure). Support values are indicated by the black squares (SH-aLRT/UFBoot/pp ≥ 80/95/0.95) or by exact values near nodes. Samples for which new genetic data were generated are highlighted in bold. Complete trees with original ML and BI support values are provided as Suppl. material 1: figs S1, S2, respectively. The specimen depicted is the individual NMP 76815 (sample code LP760) from the PMBSRR, Tabuk / Medina Province, Saudi Arabia.
