The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree reconstructed by the GTR+Γ+I model with 500 bootstraps pseudo replicates based on NADH2 sequences of selected species of Etmopterus. Catalog numbers of vouchered specimens and GenBank numbers (T. kabeyai) are given. Etmopterus lucifer from Japan (near the type locality) are highlighted in bold. Numbers at branches represent bootstrap support values >60.
