Taxonomic position of Malayfilaria sofiani n. g., n. sp., inferred using the maximum-likelihood method, based on 12S rDNA nucleotide sequences. The tree was based on the Tamura-Nei model, which was selected as the best model (MEGA6), with 500 bootstrap replicates. Values > 50% are shown. Gblocks (version 0.91b, 2002) was used to eliminate poorly aligned positions and divergent regions of the alignment, making the data more suitable for phylogenetic analysis [70]. There were 319 positions in the final dataset. The scale-bar below the diagram indicates the number of changes inferred as having occurred along each branch. The red triangles indicate the sequences generated in this study
