Fig. 3

Schematic representation of the reconstructed historical biogeography of mycalesines. Inserts are geographic maps showing the zoogeographic regions colour coded to match the distribution of the exemplar taxa included in our study and a time calibrated phylogeny of the group sliced into three time frames (at 10 Mya intervals) representing the origin of the subtribe, major divergences between, and within the genera, respectively. Arrows are coloured by genus: green (Bicyclus and Hallelesis), red (Lohora), orange (Heteropsis) and blue leading to yellow (Mydosama). The fire denotes the putative place of origin of the subtribe. Paleomaps were reconstructed using the ODSN Plate Tectonic Reconstruction Service (http://www.odsn.de/odsn/services/paleomap/paleomap.html). The tree is scaled in millions of years ago (Mya)
