Morphological and molecular evidence support the taxonomic separation of the medically important Neotropical spiders Phoneutria depilata (Strand, 1909) and P. boliviensis (F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897) (Araneae, Ctenidae)

Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of the concatenated alignment of COI and ITS-2 markers. PB = posterior probabilities (derived from the Bayesian tree), UB = ultrafast bootstrap (derived from the likelihood tree), and JAC = jackknife (derived from the parsimony tree). Support metrics for nodes with low support (UB and PB < 0.95, and Jac < 70) are not shown. Phoneutria images: P. fera (top), P. boliviensis (center), P. depilata (bottom).
