Phylogenetic hypotheses were derived from maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony analyses of a three gene concatenated dataset, including cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (640bp), cytochrome b (1140bp) and exon 3 of the recombination-activating gene 1 (~1500bp). Our investigation provides strong support for the monophyly of two species groups of Psilorhynchus (the P. balitora and P. nudithoracicus species groups) and corroborates previous hypotheses on the phylogenetic position of the Western Ghats species P. tenura based on morphology. Basal relationships within Psilorhynchus were poorly supported and are worthy of further investigation. A fossil calibrated relaxed molecular clock estimates the split between Psilorhynchus and its sister group to have occurred within the Eocene/Oligocene, with subsequent diversification in the Miocene. } }
