description: Table 3. List of 39 morphological characters used for the here presented phylogenetic analysis. In the second column, plesiomorphic states are set in square brackets. Columns 3-14: 1 = apomorphies; 0 = plesiomorphies;? = no information available; 1 = supposed convergences. 0* = also apomorphic state present, due to intraspecific variability; explanation in the text.
