Orectolobus cf. leptolineatus

The single Orectolobus cf. leptolineatus sample from Taiwan included in this analysis cluster with three other Taiwanese samples (GN7838 to GN7840) ( Figure 5). This cluster of Taiwanese samples is very closely related to the O. leptolineatus clade containing five samples from Lombok, Indonesia (GN7829, GN7831 to GN7834) ( Fig. 5). Given the close species interrelationships within the genus (Corrigan & Beheregaray, 2009; Naylor et al., 2012a, 2012b), and recognised taxonomic uncertainty among species (Last et al., 2010) we tentatively designate the Taiwanese samples as O. cf. leptolineatus . Samples of O. japonicus are required in the future to determine its relationship with O. cf. leptolineatus and O. leptolineatus .
