Abstract:
A numerical taxonomic study is presented for the genus Brephosceles. The phenetic relationships of the OTU'S from five of the six species groups of Brephosceles are examined using a number of numerical taxonomic techniques. The results of four types of clustering methods are compared using cophenetic correlation coefficients. The results of the numerical
taxonomic study are used to propose a reevaluation of the genus Brephosceles.
