Abstract

Techniques of analysis and comparison of detailed anatomy through dissections and molecular analysis were applied in a highly variable group as Ostreidae in order to prove the monophyly of Crassostreinae. Being economically important worldwide, differentiation between species is essential in applications to production. Through a detailed comparative study of morphology, representatives of almost all genres of Ostreoidea were analyzed. Initially, the representatives of the subfamily Crassostreinae were studied in isolation. A phylogenetic analysis was performed in the search for your monophyly and their basic identity in each one. Representatives of Ostreinae Gryphaeidae and were used as-external. Then, some representatives of Pteriomorphia were incorporated into the group-external (Limidae, Spondylidae, Plicatulidae, Isognomonidae, Anomiidae) with rooting Arcidae. 73 characters presently commented and discussed were studied. A single most parsimonious tree was obtained: (((((((Cryptostrea permolis (Teskeyostrea weberi ((Hyotissa hyotis (Parahyotissa mcgintyi - P. numisma)) ((Eostrea puelchana - E. lurida) (Ostrea edulis (Ostreola equestris (\"Dendostrea\" sp.1 ((Lopha cristagalli - Alectryonella plicatula) ((Dendostrea folium - D. sp.2) (\"Dendostrea\" frons (\"Saccostrea\" echinata (\"Saccostrea\" palmula (((Saccostrea mordax - \"Striostrea\" prismatica) (Saccostrea cucullata - S. glomerata)) ((Crassostrea virginica (C. gigas - C. bilineata)) (C. mangle (C. brasiliana - C. rhizophorae)))))))))))))))) Plicatulostrea onca) Plicatula gibbosa) Spondylus americanus) Lima sp.) (Anomia simplex - Isognomon alatus)) Barbatia candida) while indices: = 372 steps, CI = 27 and IR = 58. We note that the monophyly of Crassostreinae been established and is supported by six synapomorphies, Crassostrea is also monophyletic, supported by four synapomorphies. Saccostrea, considering the type species S. cucullata, is monophyletic with S. glomerata. Data obtained by molecular analyzes, performed and this data GenBank® corroborates, in part, with the anatomical data; Crassostrea is considered to be monophyletic in both analyzes. Differences and morphological, anatomical similarities found in almost all structures were sufficient for separating and grouping among genera and their species (AU)
