The data matrix was coded from observations of specimens and details recorded in the literature. The files can be reviewed in a text reader and run in TNT or Mesquite software. The analyses were run in TNT Version 1.5 and the matrices were compiled in Mesquite Version 3.11 Scripts are included in the TNT files to ensure the analysis is replicable. -------------------------- DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION -------------------------- Number of variables: 47 categorical states characters and 1 continuous states character.
