Phylogenetic tree based on (A) the control region (390 bp) and (B) the cytochrome b (1060 bp) of some cobra samples in this study and Genbank sequences. Only branches with more than 50% BPP are shown. BPP values indicate distinct clades of Naja species in Asia. The N. fuxi lineage (red line) includes specimens from China (Acc. no. GU563519 [Lin et al. 2014], KU527540 [Yang et al., GenBank only], and JN160672 [Lin et al. 2012], red box with two red asterisks) and Thailand (C01–05, N01–06, I01–05, and W01–04), confirming that the Thai montane cobras are conspecific with Naja fuxi.
