 | | The monophyly of Leucosoleniida was rejected in Figure 2B but not in Figures 2A and 2C. |
| | In contrast, there is strong increase in branch support for Leuconia + Petrobiona with the addition of morphological data: bootstrap value increased from 84% to 98% and Bremer value increased from 2 to 6. |
| | In the strict consensus tree from the combined analysis, as in the molecular trees, Leucosolenia is not in a basal position among Calcaronea, the genus Sycon is polyphyletic, the family Grantiidae is not monophyletic (at least paraphyletic), and the order Leucosoleniida is paraphyletic. |
