Orectolobus cf. leptolineatus

The single Orectolobus cf. leptolineatus sample from Taiwan included in this analysis cluster with three other Taiwanese samples (GN7838 to GN7840) (Figure 5). This cluster of Taiwanese samples is very closely related to the O. leptolineatus clade containing five samples from Lombok, Indonesia (GN7829, GN7831 to GN7834) (Fig. 5). Given the close species interrelationships within the genus (Corrigan & Beheregaray, 2009; Naylor et al., 2012a, 2012b), and recognised taxonomic uncertainty among species (Last et al., 2010) we tentatively designate the Taiwanese samples as O. cf. leptolineatus . Samples of O. japonicus are required in the future to determine its relationship with O. cf. leptolineatus and O. leptolineatus .
