Polymerus genus

( Fig. 2 , node 6).

The genus comprises 99 species in the world ( Schuh 2002 –2013), which about 5 species have been reported and documented from Iran ( Aukema 2020). Polymerus is found to be a monophyletic group in all analyses with strong support (IW= 92%, EW= 86%). This genus is united with Eurystylus as a sister group in both analyses. The current result is congruent with previous studies ( Jung & Lee 2012; Kim & Jung 2019).
