Rhodopsalta leptomera

The trees reveal strong support for a split between R leptomera along the northern coasts of NI, including Northland (ND), Auckland (AK), Taranaki (TK) and Waikato (WO), vs. the eastern and southern coasts of NI, including Hawkes Bay, Wairarapa (WA) and Wanganui (WI) (Figs 4, 5A). Both individual cox1 and combined gene trees show one R. leptomera specimen from the far north (05. NZ.ND.TOB.02; Karikari Peninsula) as sister to the rest of the clade (Figs 4, 5A).
