Phylogenetic tree based on Bayesian Inference (BI). Numbers above branches are posterior probability values. Posterior probability value supporting the Hyphessobrycon micropterus clade is indicated in green (haplotypes marked with a green bar); posterior probability value supporting the H. caru sp. nov. lineage under WP method is indicated in red (haplotypes marked with a red bar); and the other species (lineages) under WP method, within this clade, are indicated in black. b Strict consensus phylogenetic tree based on Maximum Parsimony (MP), obtained from the 38 most parsimonious trees, in which 587 characters were constant, 20 variable but parsimony-uninformative, and 248 parsimony-informative (total length 833, consistency index 0.489, retention index 0.901). The image is focusing on the Hyphessobrycon micropterus clade. Numbers above branch are bootstrap values and letters below branches correspond to nucleotide substitutions, listed in Suppl. material 1: Box 1, corresponding to the CBB method. Green circle indicating Hyphessobrycon micropterus clade, red circle H. caru sp. nov., blue circles the other congeners within the clade, and black circle the clade H. caru sp. nov. + H. piorskii.
