C. gilvatumida .

Within C. guatemalensis there is evidence of phylogeographic structure. Most analyses recovered a specimen (EX1726) from Mexico’s Sierra Oriental as sister to the remaining specimens. The sister clade divides into northern and southern clades. The northern clade has two subclades, one joining Sierra de Los Tuxtlas in Veracruz, Mexico, with a specimen from southern Guatemala, and one with specimens from the Sierra de Chiapas and western Guatemala. The southern clade divides into one cluster of very closely related specimens from Honduras and northern Nicaragua, and a second cluster from Costa Rica. Across analyses, there was some topological instability within the Honduras / Nicaragua clade of specimens, but these relationships were shallow and did not receive maximum support ( Fig. 3 ; Supp Figs. 1–5 [online only]).

Figures

Fig. 3. Relationships among samples within the C. gilva complex based on analysis of 2,199 UCE loci and the SWSC-EN partitioning scheme. Four main clades were recovered and these were delimited as species using an integrative approach. Support values are UFB/SH-aLRT with maximum supports (100/100) not shown.The photo inset is of C. guatemalensis (CASENT0646802; Credit: John Longino).The same tree with support values is available in Supp Fig. 2 (online only).

Fig. 1. Relationships among Cryptopone lineages based on analysis of 2,232 UCE loci and the SWSC-EN partitioning scheme. Among lineages, the South American clade is separate from the North/Central American clade of Cryptopone and they are not closely related.The constituent species of the South American clade are transferred to the resurrected genus Wadeura. All node support values are at maximum (UFB/SH-aLRT values of 100/100).The photo insets are of Wadeura holmgreni (CASENT0373370, Credit: Michelle Esposito) and C. gilva (CASENT0003325, Credit: April Nobile).The same tree with support values is available in Supp Fig. 1 (online only).

Fig. 5. Species tree and species delimitation in the Cryptopone gilva complex.The species tree was inferred using SNP data and the Bayesian program SNAPP, with the resulting tree set displayed using DensiTree.The SNAPP densitree shows at least four clearly differentiated species-level lineages. Species delimitation using the programs BPP, SODA, and bPTP, recovered between 4 and 17 species.The results for the UCE samples only are mapped onto the SNAPP densitree result. The connected red bars represent single species that were not monophyletic in the SNAPP phylogeny.The colored boxes and blue species names represent the final species delimitation and taxonomy.
