Simplified phylogram from Bayesian inference analysis using ITS2 dataset from current study, using public sequences (with their respective GeneBank number) and sequences from our own specimens (in colour). Results show two polyphyletic groups, regrouping Aedes hexodontus (in orange), Aedes punctor (in red) and Punctor subgroup’s outliers (in magenta), as well as Aedes impiger (in green) and Aedes nigripes (in blue). Mansonia uniformis used as outgroup. Bootstrap values from Maximum likelihood analysis (in bold) and posterior probabilities from Bayesian inference analysis (in bold, underlined) displayed as support values. Sampling regions in parentheses: MN (Manitoba, CAN); QC (Québec, CAN); AK (Alaska, USA); NU (Nunavut, CAN).
