Figure 30: Monophyletic mapping of Ascidiacea. Colours distinguish clades; Aplosbranchia (solitary sp.) = purple, Phlebobranchia (solitary and colonial sp.) = yellow, Stolidobranchia = blue and green. Stolidobranchia contains four discrete families of ascidians; Pyruidae, Molgulidae, Hexacrobylidae (blue) and Stylidae (green). Within Stylidae, there are three subfamilies; Stylinae which are all solitary, and the Botryllinae (includes Botryllus and Botrylloides) and Polyzoinae (includes Symplegma) which are all colonial. Within Polyzoinae is the genus Symplegma, and includes species such as S. brakenhielmi, S. rubra, S. reptens and S. viridae. Adapted from Kott, 1885 and Pérez-Portela, et al, 2009.
