Maximum likelihood tree of Aphanerostethus species based on an 872 base-pair long concatenated DNA matrix (CO1, Cytb, 16S) with gene-wise partition modelling (CO1 / Cytb: GTR+F+I+G4; 16S: GTR+F+G4) constructed in IQ-TREE v. 1.6.12. Branch support values represent standard nonparametric bootstraps (1000 replicates) and posterior probabilities. The symbol “–” indicates a posterior probability less than 50 (i.e., collapsed nodes in the Bayesian Inference tree). EGP codes represent DNA extraction codes and serve also as unique specimen identifiers. Associated Aphanerostethus weevil figures on the right of the tree are not to scale. Note that, except for A. distinctus and A. taiwanus (see Comments under the A. taiwanus species profile), the monophyly of all Aphanerostethus species is strongly supported (BS: 100, PP: 1).
