Figure 25: Cladograms showing majority-rule consensus of 3 MPTs for upper-level phylogeny of superfamily Buthoidea with characters distributed. Top cladogram assumes trichobothrium d3 is located external to (the nonexistent) DMc carina in Pseudochactas; bottom cladogram assume trichobothrium is located internal to DMc carina. Six partially defined clades are identified by the name of the group of genera (see Fig. 23 for group contents and character definitions). Characters 3 and 4 are ordered. Ambiguous character distribution is identified with the A(CCTRAN) or D(ELTRAN) designation. Consensus tree support (a percentage) is presented under branch. Open rectangles depict homoplasious characters. Character number depicted on top and character state on bottom.
