The most likely topology (-lnL = 3754.743) obtained in the Maximum-Likelihood analysis of a 549 nucleotide 16S rRNA alignment, depicting relationships between potamonautid freshwater crabs sampled from Hogsback and Katberg (Eastern Cape, South Africa) and known southern African Potamonautes species. Nodal support in the form of Bayesian Posterior Probabilities (BPPs) are indicated above the branches, with only BPPs > 0.95 shown. Species of Maritimonautes are included as outgroups.
