FIGURE 1 in A phylogenetic analysis and taxonomic revision of the oribatid mite family Malaconothridae (Acari: Oribatida), with new species of Tyrphonothrus and Malaconothrus from Australia

FIGURE 1. Competing phylogenies and classifications of the genera and subgenera of Malaconothridae. (a) A phylogeny based on the existing classification, with monodactyly (1) as the character state separating the genera, making the presence of notogastral ridges (2*) a convergent apomorphy; (b) a phylogeny based on the presence of notogastral ridges making monodactyly (1*) a convergent apomorphy; (c) a phylogeny reconciling notogastral ridges and monodactyly, with Tyrphonothrus separated from the other sub-genera based on the character state of elongated tarsi (3).
