Fig. 3 a Cladogram of Lepidosauria ( grey box outline ) and related lineages 1. Rhynchocephalia ;
2. Lizards; 3. Snakes; 4. Crocodiles; 5. Birds. b Phylogenetic tree for all New Zealand Lepidosauria
inferred using Maximum Likelihood analysis of mtDNA ND2 sequences from Genbank with GTR
model (RAxML- Stamatakis 2006 ) comprising the single extant species of Rhynchocephalia (Hay
et al. 2009 ), ~36 species of gecko (Nielsen et al. 2011 ), and ~40 species of skink (Chapple et al.
2009 ). The grey fi lled box indicates the region of the tree that provides no phylogenetic or biogeo-
graphic information about the lineages
