Summary of tree statistics and major phylogenetic findings in the simultaneous analyses of ribosomal data of Chrysomelidae using parsimony (Direct Optimization, DO) and maximum likelihood (ML) tree reconstructions.

aExcluding gapped sites in brackets.
bOptimized under parsimony in PAUP*, for comparative purposes only.
cOptimized with PAUP* implementing the GTR+I+G model, for comparative purposes only.
dM: monophyletic; Pa: paraphyletic; Po: polyphyletic.
eThe Cassidinae s.l. includes hispines (paraphyletic in our analyses) and cassidines.
