Maximum likelihood analysis of available COI sequences for Neolissochilus with Tor putitora as outgroup. Species delimitation based on ASAP is shown as a dashed circle surrounding the phylogenetic tree. Clade containing Neolissochilus pnar is highlighted in blue. Clades containing morphologically identified putative topotypes of Neolissochilus hexagonolepis and N. hexastichus sensu Laskar et al. (2013) are highlighted in red and green respectively, with sequences generated in their original paper highlighted in blue. Neolissochilus benasi is excluded from the analysis as it does not group with remaining species of Neolissochilus (see Fig. 3). Bootstrap values based on 1000 iterations are shown along the nodes. Tor putitora is used as an outgroup.
