Rhodopsalta cruentata

A sister-group relationship is found between NI and SI R. cruentata, with the exception of two Wellington specimens that group within the SI clade (Figs 4, 5A). These relationships are informed primarily by the cox1 gene. Some weak geographical concordance is present. The earliest splits in the NI R. cruentata clade divide a set of samples from north-eastern NI from the remainder, and the majority of south-eastern NI individuals, specifically from Hawkes Bay (HB) and Rangitikei (RI), form a weakly supported subclade distinct from the rest of the NI specimens. Within the mainly SI R. cruentata clade, the earliest splits separate samples from the northern part of the range of the clade [Wellington (WN), Marlborough Sounds (SD) and northern Kaikoura (KA)].
