Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic tree, based on 13 protein-coding genes and two ribosomal RNAs (42 taxa and 16,416 sites). The mitogenomes of Alternatipathes mirabilis (USNM1070972; OR398473) and Parantipathes larix (USNM1280881; OR398474) are indicated with three asterisks. The families Aphanipathidae and Cladopathidae are polyphyletic with representatives indicated with a horizontal dotted line. The tree is rooted internally to the Leiopathidae. Node support values are based on 1,000 ultrafast bootstrap replicates. Species IDs are followed by museum voucher codes (e.g. USNM) and/or GenBank accession numbers (e.g. MT, NC, ON or SRR).
