Description: The shaded areas highlight the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, and genus for species number 43. All the taxa are monophyletic groups or clades. Broader taxa, such as phyla and classes, are derived from more ancient common ancestors. Smaller taxa, such as families and genera, are derived from more recent common ancestors. These smaller taxa are subsets of the broader taxa.
