Title in Portuguese
Filogenia do gênero Chironius (Serpentes, Colubridae) baseada em dados morfológicos e moleculares
Keywords in Portuguese
1. Chironius
2. Colubrinae
3. Filogenia Morfológica e Molecular
Abstract in Portuguese
Chironius, um dos maiores gêneros da subfamília Colubrinae na América do Sul, inclui 14 espécies, diagnosticadas pela presença de 10 ou 12 fileiras de escamas dorsais no meio do corpo. O gênero apresenta uma distribuição Neotropical, que se estende desde a costa norte de Honduras até o Uruguai e o nordeste da Argentina. Neste trabalho foi realizada uma análise filogenética combinada de 75 caracteres morfológicos e 1397 caracteres moleculares (provenientes das seqüências de dois genes mitocondriais, 12S e 16S, e um gene nuclear, c-mos) pelos métodos de máxima parcimônia e inferência bayesiana. A monofilia do gênero Chironius foi corroborada e os resultados obtidos sugerem que o gênero é dividido em 10 componentes monofiléticos. Os gêneros Drymobius, Leptophis e Dendrophidion são apontados como os mais relacionados à Chironius, corroborando trabalhos anteriores. Chironius laevicollis e C. scurrulus formam o clado mais basal entre as espécies, e sua distribuição restrita a América do Sul sugere que Chironius tenha tido origem neste continente e que posteriormente tenha invadido a América Central através de eventos de dispersão.

Abstract in English
Chironius, one of the greatest genera of the Colubrinae subfamily in South America, consists of 14 species, diagnosed by the presence of 10 or 12 rows of dorsal scales in the mid-body. The genus presents a Neotropical distribution extending from the northern coast of Honduras to Uruguay and northeastern Argentina. This study presents a combined phylogenetic analysis of 75 morphological characters and 1397 molecular characters (from the sequences of two mitochondrial genes, 12S and 16S, as well as a nuclear gene, c-mos) by means of Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian Inference. The monophylety of the genus Chironius was corroborated and the obtained results suggest that the genus is subdivided in ten monophyletic components. The genera Drymobius, Leptophis and Dendrophidion come out as the most closely related to Chironius, corroborating previous studies. Chironius laevicollis and C. scurrulus composed the most basal clade among the species. Their distribution is restricted to South America, which suggests that Chironius originated in South America and later invaded Central America through dispersion.
