Figures

Figure 4. Phylogenetic relationships of Scelionidae based on a maximum likelihood analysis of 479 COI sequences. Branches in blue and red indicate Hadronotus and Gryon, respectively. Terminals belonging to G. aetherium are shown to the right of the phylogenetic tree. Terminals highlighted in yellow correspond to adventive G. aetherium specimens collected in Mexico and California. Scale bars indicate the expected number of substitutions per site.
