Phylogenetic tree of some genera of the Formicinae based on COI sequence data. The tree was generated from an alignment of 660 sites and 131 taxa. The phylogeny was inferred using the IQ-tree. Values at the nodes represent IQ-tree bootstrap proportions (on the left) and posterior probabilities (on the right). All values were shown at the nodes. The scale bar 0.05 indicates the number of expected mutations per site. The species (Colonopsis sp. YHH 2210006 and Colonopsis sp. YHH 2210007) are indicated in black and bold font in this work. The Latin name on the right of the tree refers to the pathogenic fungi infecting the host ants and the illustration refers to the fungi infecting ants in the wild. Daceton armigerum USNM was used as the outgroup taxa.
