<div><p>The river sardine, <i>Mesobola</i><i> </i><i>brevianalis</i> (Boulenger, 1908), is the type species of <i>Mesobola</i> Howes, 1984.
Standard phylogenetic analyses of partial sequences of the cytochrome oxidase I
gene of individuals from populations across southern Africa that are currently
identified as <i>M.</i><i> </i><i>brevianalis</i> showed that
these populations represent four genetically distinct allopatric lineages.
Furthermore, <i>Engraulicypris</i><i> </i><i>sardella</i> (Günther, 1868), the type species of <i>Engraulicypris</i> Günther,
1894, was convincingly nested amongst these clades. </p><p><br></p>
<p>Fig.3 Maximum-likelihood phylogram based on partial sequences of
the COI gene. Bootstrap support values were attained using a
heuristic tree search and 1000 replicates. Numbers following locality names
represent SAIAB catalogue
numbers and GenBank accession numbers (in brackets). The shaded boxes enclose
well-supported clades that were identified as populations of <i>Mesobola</i><i> </i><i>brevianalis</i> in the past. The scale bar represents the number of
base substitutions per site.</p></div>
