Host phylogeny and taxonomy inferred using maximum likelihood analysis of Platyrrhini mitochondrial cytochrome B sequences. An alignment of 627 nucleotides from 205 taxa was used in the analysis. Green and blue circles represent sequences generated in our first and current studies, respectively; red circles indicate new sequences with discordant morphological and phylogenetic taxonomic classification. All other taxa are reference sequences from GenBank. Bootstrap support was determined using 1000 resampling replicates and values ≥70 % are provided at nodes.
