The analysis combines 16SrRNA (489 bp alignment) and Histone 3 sequences (290 bp alignment). Numbers above branches indicate Bayesian Inference (~BI) posterior probability support values, and numbers below branches indicate Maximum likelihood (ML) bootstrap support values. Only intraspecific node support values are shown for clarity. ‘-’ indicates the node was not supported by ML analysis.

Phylogenetic relationships of species of African freshwater crabs included in the present study. Potamonautes orbitospinus (Cunnington, 1907) and P. amosae sp. nov. were both formerly included in the Potamonautes lirrangensis (Rathbun, 1904) s. lat. species complex. The analysis combines 16SrRNA (489 bp alignment) and Histone 3 sequences (290 bp alignment). Numbers above branches indicate Bayesian Inference (~BI) posterior probability support values, and numbers below branches indicate Maximum likelihood (ML) bootstrap support values. Only intraspecific node support values are shown for clarity. ‘-’ indicates the node was not supported by ML analysis. Codes on the branch tips indicate either isolate numbers or *Genbank accession numbers (Table 2). Other species shown on the tree (P. bellarussus Daniels, Phiri & Bayliss, 2014, P. choloensis Chace, 1953, P. obesus A. Milne- Edwards, 1868, and P. cf. unispinus Stewart & Cook, 1998) have a distribution that overlaps with that of the focal species (P. lirrangensis s. lat.). The outgroup species is Sudanonautes floweri de Man, 1901 from Cameroon and Gabon. The scale bar indicates genetic distance.	Fig. 14.
