Figure 1. Parsimonary trees as presented by by Kamarundin et al. (2011). Tree 4. is most likely to show phylogenic relationships of different species of Holothuria. H. leucospilota has its own monophyletic clade clearly distinct from the other species. It was shown to be genetically closest to H. coluber, followed by H. austrinabassa and H. atra.
