Osteocephalus planiceps View in CoL group

The majority rule consensus delimited ten OTUs within the Osteocephalus planiceps group ( Fig. 1a View Fig ). Six of them unambiguously correspond to described taxa with sequences from their type locality or nearby sites, and/or from their known distribution: Osteocephalus castaneicola Moravec et al., 2009 (holotype); O. deridens Jungfer et al., 2000 ( Fig. 5e View Fig in the Appendix); O. fuscifacies Jungfer et al., 2000 ( Fig. 5f View Fig in the Appendix); O. leoniae Jungfer & Lehr, 2001 ; O. planiceps Cope, 1874 ( Fig. 5h View Fig in the Appendix); and O. vilarsi Melin, 1941 . The sample of O. castaneicola (MTR18640) from the east bank of lower Purus River, Amazonas, Brazil, corresponds to its first molecular record in Central Amazonia (Electronic Supplement 3 and 4). The remaining four undescribed OTUs could not be assigned to any know taxa ( O. aff. deridens , O. aff. leoniae 1, O. aff. leoniae 2 and O. aff. planiceps ).

The sequences of O. aff. deridens are from nearby Iquitos, Loreto, Peru, and form a clade which is sister to Osteocephalus deridens sensu stricto ( Fig. 1a View Fig ).

Osteocephalus aff. leoniae 1 and O. aff. leoniae 2 ( Fig. 5g View Fig in the Appendix) are sisters to each other, and both are sisters to O. leoniae sensu stricto ( Fig. 1a View Fig ). They are distributed allopatrically (Electronic Supplement 3).

The sequences of O. aff. planiceps are from Serra do Divisor (border between Brazil and Peru), and form a highly divergent sister group, geographically close, to Osteocephalus planiceps sensu stricto ( Fig. 1a View Fig ; Electronic Supplement 3).

Fig. 1 Panel a, time-calibrated phylogeny of Osteocephalus, Tepuihyla and Dryaderces in Amazonia, resulting from a mitogenomic analysis in BEAST and displaying the mean and 95% CI (blue bars) of divergences. Nodes are numbered in red (age details are in Electronic Supplement 1), and support values are depicted for Bayesian (following node symbol colours) and maximum likelihood analyses (following numbers below the nodes). Topological discrepancies between analyses for four low-supported nodes (21, 25, 34 and 43)
