Fragment of the Bayesian tree of the studied Melitaea samples based on analysis of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. M. casta and species of the M. persea species complex are shown. Numbers at nodes indicate Bayesian posterior probability. A, H, P1, P2 and P3 are recovered haplogroups of the M. persea species complex.
