Trees obtained by independent ML reconstruction for each gene region. Data sets did not include any gaps and missing data. Orange, green, purple and blue boxes outline the four species groups, i.e. Imicola, Obsoletus, Grahamii and Boophagus, respectively, supported by a SH-like value higher than 80% in this study. SH-like percentages of 200 replicates are shown above the branches for values exceeding 50%. Trees represent ITS1+ITS2, cox1, cox2, and cytb marker. The clade labelled Obsoletus group in ITS1+ITS2 has been collapsed to provide a better insight of topology, and includes C. abchazicus, C. chiopterus, C. montanus, C. obsoletus, C. sanguisuga, C. scoticus and C. sinanoensis
