Maximum likelihood tree of Merodon natans species group based on combined COI+28S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Bootstrap values ≥ 50 are presented near nodes. Coloured sections indicate different Merodon lineages (yellow - aureus lineage, light green - desuturinus lineage, dark green - albifrons lineage, blue - avidus lineage, purple - natans lineage).
