  1. Two molecular clock analyses were conducted. Fossil-calibrated values were estimated using a Bayesian lognormal relaxed-clock model, while the substitution rate calibrated values were estimated using the strict molecular clock model using a fixed mean substitution rate of 1.30 X 10−8 subs/site/year. The mean estimated values and the 95 % highest posterior density (HPD) ranges are given for the two molecular clocks. See Fig. 2 for the corresponding maximum clade probability trees
