Osteocephalus planiceps View in CoL group

The majority rule consensus delimited ten OTUs within the Osteocephalus planiceps group ( Fig. 1a View Fig ). Six of them unambiguously correspond to described taxa with sequences from their type locality or nearby sites, and/or from their known distribution: Osteocephalus castaneicola Moravec et al., 2009 (holotype); O. deridens Jungfer et al., 2000 ( Fig. 5e View Fig in the Appendix); O. fuscifacies Jungfer et al., 2000 ( Fig. 5f View Fig in the Appendix); O. leoniae Jungfer & Lehr, 2001 ; O. planiceps Cope, 1874 ( Fig. 5h View Fig in the Appendix); and O. vilarsi Melin, 1941 . The sample of O. castaneicola (MTR18640) from the east bank of lower Purus River, Amazonas, Brazil, corresponds to its first molecular record in Central Amazonia (Electronic Supplement 3 and 4). The remaining four undescribed OTUs could not be assigned to any know taxa ( O. aff. deridens , O. aff. leoniae 1, O. aff. leoniae 2 and O. aff. planiceps ).

The sequences of O. aff. deridens are from nearby Iquitos, Loreto, Peru, and form a clade which is sister to Osteocephalus deridens sensu stricto ( Fig. 1a View Fig ).

Osteocephalus aff. leoniae 1 and O. aff. leoniae 2 ( Fig. 5g View Fig in the Appendix) are sisters to each other, and both are sisters to O. leoniae sensu stricto ( Fig. 1a View Fig ). They are distributed allopatrically (Electronic Supplement 3).

The sequences of O. aff. planiceps are from Serra do Divisor (border between Brazil and Peru), and form a highly divergent sister group, geographically close, to Osteocephalus planiceps sensu stricto ( Fig. 1a View Fig ; Electronic Supplement 3).
