The red branch highlights our present study of <i>C</i>. <i>quercinus</i>. Please note that the outgroups <i>L</i>. <i>cerithiformis</i>, <i>O</i>. <i>dimidiata</i> and <i>F</i>. <i>similis</i> are allochthonous species. Branch lengths and topologies were obtained using the Bayesian inference analysis.</p
