Phylogenetic position of Pelusios williamsi and a critique of current GenBank procedures (Reptilia: Testudines: Pelomedusidae)
Original language description
We re-examine the phylogenetic position of Pelusios williamsi by merging new sequences with an earlier published data set for all Pelusios species, except the possibly extinct P. seychellensis, and the nine previously identified lineages of the closely allied genus Pelomedusa (2054 bp mtDNA, 2025 bp nDNA). Furthermore, we include new sequences of P. broadleyi, P. castanoides, P. gabonensis and P. marani. Individual and combined Maximum Likelihood analyses of the mitochondrial and nuclear data sets indicate that P. williamsi is sister to P. castanoides, as predicted by morphology. This provides evidence for the misidentification of GenBank sequences allegedly representing P. williamsi. Such mislabelled GenBank sequences contribute to continued confusion, because only the original submitter can revise their identification; an impractical procedure impeding the rectification of obvious mistakes. Furthermore, using uncorrected p distances of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene as a yardsti
