Mantophasmatodea (Heelwalkers):
phylogeny
One of 8 most parsimonious trees (L = 1468, CI = 0.6158,
RI = 0.7459) resulting from an equally weighted simultaneous parsimony analysis
of 810 bp of COI and 483 bp of 16SrDNA from 28 haplotypes of mantophasmatodeans
and 4 outgroup taxa conducted with PAUP (numbers above branches indicate
bootstrap support; numbers below branches indicate Bremer support values). Insufficient outgroups were included to indicate
sister group relationships for the order. From Klass
et al. (2003).
