Table 1: Phylogeographic, morphometric and taxonomic re-evaluation of the river sardine, Mesobola brevianalis (Boulenger, 1908) (Teleostei, Cyprinidae, Chedrini)

<div><p>The river sardine, <i>Mesobola</i><i> </i><i>brevianalis</i> (Boulenger, 1908), is the type species of <i>Mesobola</i> Howes, 1984. Standard phylogenetic analyses of partial sequences of the cytochrome oxidase I gene of individuals from populations across southern Africa that are currently identified as <i>M.</i><i> </i><i>brevianalis</i> showed that these populations represent four genetically distinct allopatric lineages. Furthermore, <i>Engraulicypris</i><i> </i><i>sardella</i> (Günther, 1868), the type species of <i>Engraulicypris</i> Günther, 1894, was convincingly nested amongst these clades. </p> <p>Table 1.
