Appendix 6. Molecular synapomorphies of Myotis armiensis sp. n, as revealed by maximum-parsimony (MP) analysisof cytochrome c oxidasesubunit I(657bp). Molecular transformations were optimized on a 50 % majority-rule consensus tree of the most parsimonious tree (576 steps; [CI] = 0.429) resulting from the MP analysis of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I matrix. 17 fixed derived characters states were found in the newly identified lineage. Of these, 2 which are indicated by asterisks, have not evolved independently in any other species of New World Myotis. The remaining have appeared secondarily in at least one species of New World Myotis.
