Maximum likelihood tree inferred from DNA sequences (1163 bp) of two fragments of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene for species of Platypelis. Numbers at nodes are bootstrap proportions in percent (500 replicates). The tree was rooted with Cophyla as outgroup. P1–P3 refer to major clades within Platypelis as described in the text. The paratype of P. tetra (MRSN A2165) had a very long branch likely caused by its many missing data (shortened in the tree for better graphical representation). Image of the holotype of P. efatra sp. nov. (ZSM 1621/2012) mirrored to match the orientation of the holotype of P. tetra (MRSN A2174).	FIGURE 1.
