In Chile, there are four endemic species (<em>P. alvaroi</em>, <em>P. torquatus</em>, <em>P. valeriae </em>and <em>P. volcanensis</em>) that distribute in the central-south zone of the country. We performed a Bayesian analysis with the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b to assess the phylogenetic position of these four species, which shows that they comprise a high supported clade that is separated from the other species of the genus.</p> ER -
