S. tuberosum Group

Seven larvae scored with IIIL-64 (cytospecies A) and eight larvae scored with IIIL-96 (cytospecies B) fell indiscriminately in a clade with S. rosliramlii ( Fig. 5 ). This clade was the sister taxon of S. doipuiense Takaoka & Choochote , with genetic distances of 1.7– 6.3%. It was separated from S. arisanum by 6.1–8.2%, S. weji by 8.8–11.9%, S. yuphae by 9.3–11.5%, and S. tani by 11.1–14.4%.
