Its members are widespread throughout the world, with its highest species diversity centred in the Indo-West Pacific region. Despite this importance, their taxonomy, classification and phylogeny are not yet settled due in part to incongruence among hypotheses proposed from molecular versus morphological studies. In this study, using a thorough taxonomic sampling of especially the South-East Asian species, we aim to (a) utilize a reconstructed phylogeny to test the monophyly of the Penaeidae and its currently recognized genera and (b) explore its species diversity in South-East Asian waters. To infer the phylogeny, a combined gene data set (including 109 ingroup and six outgroup taxa) of mitochondrial genes, COI and 16S rRNA, and two nuclear genes, NaK and PEPCK, was utilized. To explore its diversity, another data set that included 371 COI gene sequences (231 newly generated and 140 retrieved from public sources) was compiled and subsequently analysed with two different tools (ABGD and bPTP) for species delimitation. Other than supporting the non-monophyly of the Penaeidae with the Sicyoniidae nested within the penaeid tribe Trachypenaeini, the genera Penaeus, Mierspenaeopsis and Parapenaeopsis were also revealed to be polyphyletic. Our species delimitation analysis inferred that 94 putative species actually existed within the 71 morphospecies reviewed, indicating an underestimated biodiversity in this family and the potential presence of new species within the following morphospecies: Kishinouyepenaeopsis cornuta, K. incisa, Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis, M hardwicki, Parapenaeopsis coromandelica and Penaeus monodon. KEYWORDS integrated approach in taxonomy, Penaeidae, phylogeny, South-East Asia, species delimitation 1 | IN T RO D U C T ION The shrimp species from the family Penaeidae RafinesqueSchmaltz, 1815, are among the most economically important crustaceans (Chan, 1998; Dall, Hill, Rothlisberg, & Sharples, 1990; Holthuis, 1980; Pérez Farfante & Kensley, 1997). They Zoologica Scripta. 2020;00:1–18. are present in tropical and subtropical shallow and inshore waters with their highest species diversity occurring in the Indo-West Pacific (IWP) region. The family is considered a ‘primitive’ group of decapod crustaceans (Abele, 1991; Dall et al., 1990; Schram, 1977, 1982). Dall et al. (1990) estimated there were 200 species of penaeids classified under wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/zsc © 2020 Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences | 1 2 | 17 genera. Later, Pérez Farfante and Kensley (1997) revised the taxonomy and recognized 217 species, and split the previously defined genus Penaeus sensu lato Fabricius, 1798, and genus Trachypenaeus sensu lato Alcock, 1901, into six and four genera, respectively, to make 26 genera. In the most recent revision, Sakai and Shinomiya (2011) delimited the formerly defined genus Parapenaeopsis sensu lato (Alcock, 1901) into eight genera, thus introducing seven new genera. The family Penaeidae now comprises 32 recognized genera with 224 known species (Chan, Cleva, & Chu, 2016; De Grave & Fransen, 2011; Gusmão, Lazoski, Monteiro, & Solé-Cava, 2006; Ma, Chan, & Chu, 2011; Tavares & Gusmao, 2016; Timm et al., 2019; Tsoi et al., 2014; Yang, Sha, Chan, & Liu, 2015). After compiling all the taxonomic data available on the Penaeidae, a total of 96 species in 21 genera should occur in South-East Asian (SEA) waters. The species number of SEA penaeids is probably underestimated, as comprehensive surveys in the area are still rather limited and cryptic or new species are likely present. Based on morphology, two schemes have been proposed for a higher-level classification of the Penaeidae. Kubo (1949) divided the family into five groups (without proper naming), but did not delve into details on their inter-relationships except to suggest that the group harbouring Penaeus and Miyadiella was the most basal. Burkenroad (1983) divided the family into three different tribes, namely Penaeini, Parapenaeini and Trachypenaeini, and placed Penaeini at the basal position. In recent decades, several phylogenetic studies have been conducted to evaluate these two competing ‘phylogenetic’ hypotheses, with results that often supported Burkenroad's three-tribe hypothesis (Quan, Zhuang, Deng, Dai, & Zhang, 2004; Vazquez-Bader, Carrero, Garcia-Varela, Grcia, & Laclette, 2004; Voloch, Freire, & Russo, 2005), yet several uncertainties or conflicts still remained. For instance, in Chan, Tong, Tam, and Chu (2008), 16S rRNA sequences obtained from representative taxa from 20 of the 26 currently recognized genera phylogenetically inferred that two members from the Trachypenaeini (Atypopenaeus and Trachypenaeopsis) were grouped with Parapenaeini and Penaeini, respectively, making the Trachypenaeini polyphyletic. Ma, Chan, and Chu (2009) employed a new data set of two nuclear protein-coding genes of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and sodium–potassium ATPase a-subunit (NaK), revealing that Atypopenaeus clustered with most of the sampled Trachypenaeini, in contrast to the findings of Chan et al. (2008). In addition, they found that the genus Trachypenaeopsis was placed outside the Trachypenaeini clade and was sister to Sicyoniidae with moderate support, making the tribe Trachypenaeini and also the family Penaeidae paraphyletic. Most recently, Cheng, Chan, Zhang, Sun, and Sha (2018) employed mitochondrial genome data for the same purpose, and their analytical results also supported the non-monophyly of the Trachypenaeini HURZAID et al. and Penaeidae. Accordingly, the authors suggested elevating the three penaeid tribes into familial status, with the family Sicyoniidae being retained to resolve this taxonomic dispute. For the generic classification, and following the suggestion of Pérez Farfante and Kensley (1997), by separating shrimps formerly classified under the long-accepted genus Penaeus sensu lato into six genera (Penaeus sensu stricto, Fenneropenaeus, Farfantepenaeus, Litopenaeus, Marsupenaeus and Melicertus), much debate was devoted to this new proposition. Since there was insufficient morphological evidence to support the monophyly of the proposed genera (Davie, 2002; Flegel, 2008), many authors questioned whether the proposed scheme reflected the evolutionary relationships among the 29 species classified under Penaeus s.l. (Dall, 2007; Flegel, 2007, 2008; McLaughlin, Lemaitre, Ferrari, Felder, & Bauer, 2008). To resolve this dilemma, several advanced molecular phylogenetic studies were conducted over the past two decades. The first molecular study to test this classification was pioneered by Baldwin, Bass, Bowen, and Clark (1998). Based on the mitochondrial COI sequences of 13 Penaeus s.l. species, the authors found evidence that challenged the monophyly of Melicertus, Penaeus s.s., Litopenaeus and Farfantepenaeus. The lineage containing taxa from Melicertus and Marsupenaeus occupied the basal-most position in the inferred COI gene tree. These results were further supported by a study of Gusmão, Lazoski, and Solé-Cava (2000), with COI (mostly retrieved from Baldwin's study) and new data from 11 isozyme loci. Conversely, another attempt on phylogenetic reconstruction using partial sequences of 16S rRNA (Maggioni, Rogers, Maclean, & D'Incao, 2001) showed opposing results that strongly supported the monophyly of Farfantepenaeus and Litopenaeus. However, a comprehensive view of interspecific relationships within each genus was limited in these studies due to constraints in taxon and character sampling. Later, Lavery, Chan, Tam, and Chu (2004) analysed a concatenated data set of 16S rRNA and COI sequences from 26 of the 28 Penaeus s.l. species and confirmed the monophyly of all of the included genera with strong bootstrap support except for Melicertus (paraphyletic with respect to Marsupenaeus) and Penaeus s.s. (paraphyletic with respect to Fenneropenaeus). Moreover, the division of Penaeus s.l. into two clades (Melicertus + Marsupenaeus and Fenneropenaeus + Farfantepenaeus + Litopenaeus + Penae us s.s.) always had strong support. In conclusion, these molecular studies indicated that the six-genus scheme for classifying the Penaeus s.l. species as proposed by Pérez Farfante and Kensley (1997) should be further revised. In the most recent molecular study, Ma et al. (2011) conducted a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of Penaeus s.l. using data from three nuclear protein-coding genes (enolase, PEPCK and NaK) and two mitochondrial ribosomal genes, 12S and 16S rRNA, from 18 sampled species of Penaeus s.l. and 13 HURZAID et al. other penaeid species plus three outgroups from the families Aristeidae, Solenoceridae and Sicyoniidae. Their results supported the hypothesis proposed by Lavery et al. (2004) and advocated for the restoration of the originally defined Penaeus genus (= Penaeus s.l.). From a morphological point of view, Sakai and Shinomiya (2011) delimited another formerly defined genus, Parapenaeopsis s.l., into eight genera, thus introducing seven new genera: Alcockpenaeopsis, Arafurapenaeopsis, Batepenaeopsis, Ganjampenaeopsis, Holthuispenaeopsis, Kishinouyepenaeopsis and Mierspenaeopsis. The revised classification was based only on the structures of the male petasma and male second pleopods, without considering any characters from the female thelycum. Thus, Chanda (2016) argued that the Sakai and Shinomiya (2011) classification is impractical, and rearranged the various genera proposed for Parapenaeopsis s.l., including replacing Mierspenaeopsis with the new name Helleropenaeopsis (but this is invalid according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature because Helleropenaeopsis is a synonym of Mieropenaeopsis and they both have the same type species). The first molecular work to test this classification was based on data from COI and 16S rDNA sequences using only six species from four of eight redefined Parapenaeopsis s.l. genera collected from the East China Sea and the South China Sea (Li, Xu, & Kou, 2014). Their results revealed with high support that Kishinouyepenaeopsis comprising K. sinica, K. cornuta and K. incisa formed an independent and advanced lineage in the inferred tree while the other three species (Batepenaeopsis tenella, Mierspenaeopsis cultirostris and Alcockpenaeopsis hungerfordi) formed another clade with moderate bootstrap support. In a recent study, Chowdhury, Shanis, Chelath, Pavan-Kumar, and Krishna (2018) inferred the phylogenetic relationships of five species in three genera from Parapenaeopsis s.l. collected from Indian waters based also on a combined data set of mitochondrial COI and 16S rDNA sequences. Their results showed that Parapenaeopsis (represented by P. coromandelica and P. stylifera) was monophyletic while Mierspenaeopsis was not. Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis was resolved as a sister to Ganjampenaeopsis uncta rather than M. hardwickii, with high bootstrap support. These previous studies all indicated that the classification of the Penaeidae at the generic level (and below) required further improvement. The study of penaeid taxonomy is very challenging due to the fact that accurate species identification in crustaceans in general is difficult because conspecific individuals are phenotypically variable at different ontogenetic stages, between genders, and sometimes in different environmental conditions (Hebert, Ratnasingham, & de Waard, 2003). In spite of that, many researchers still rely solely on the traditional method (i.e. morphology) for recognition and identification of shrimp and prawn species. Although morphology is the cornerstone | 3 of taxonomic classification, the distinguishing traits in different taxa may vary with classification schemes, which are not always homologous and provide limited phylogenetic information (Avise, Nelson, & Sibley, 1994; Tassanakajon et al., 2006). Consequently, taxonomic work on most shrimps is sometimes unsuccessful and ambiguous, and species assignment may be erroneous (Hebert et al., 2003; Rajkumar, Bhavan, Udayasuriyan, & Vadivalagan, 2015). These problems could be circumvented by using molecular characters that not only provide complementary information for a more precise means of taxonomic identification, but also valuable information for studying phylogenetic, population genetics and demography (Avise, 2012; Lo, Liu, Nor, & Chen, 2017). In 2003, molecular identification for species was expedited by the ‘DNA barcoding’ technique introduced by Hebert and his colleagues, which aimed to screen a single or a few reference genes in order to assign unknown specimens to known species and enhance the discovery of new species (Hebert et al., 2003; Moritz & Cicero, 2004; Sharawy, Abbas, Desouky, & Kato, 2016). Since then, DNA barcoding has been used in various applications, including an assessment of species occurrence in certain ecological systems (Page, Humphreys, & Hughes, 2008) and unravelling the commercial fraud of peeled shrimp products where their original morphology could not be ascertained (Galal-Khallaf, Ardura, Borrell, & Garcia-Vazquez, 2016). In the present study, molecular markers from mitochondrial 16S and COI as well as nuclear PEPCK and NaK genes were used for phylogenetic inference in order to test both the higher-level classification and phylogenetic hypotheses of the Penaeidae with an extensive sampling from the SEA taxa. In addition to phylogenetic exploration, we employed an integrated approach in taxonomy by considering both morphological and molecular evidences to resolve the taxonomic issues and subsequently the discovery of new species of the Penaeidae. Here, a standard DNA barcoding procedure incorporated with a more advanced analytical approach (i.e. species delimitation) using COI gene was utilized to explore the species diversity of SEA penaeids. 2 2.1 | M ATERIAL S AND M ETHO D S | Sample collection Sample collections in South-East Asia and Taiwan were carried out between 2015 and 2018 either by direct trawling using research vessels in collaboration with the Fisheries Research Institute, Malaysia, and Fisheries Research Institute, Kinmen County, Taiwan, or by purchasing specimens from local fish landing sites. A total of 228 collected shrimp specimens from 32 SEA localities (Figure S1; Table S1) were examined. Individuals were identified to the species 4 | HURZAID et al. level wherever possible using morphological keys, notably Chan (1998) and Lovett (1981). Specimens that could not be identified morphologically (juvenile specimens, unknown species, etc.) were preliminarily identified to the genus level and then re-evaluated after COI gene analyses. Freshly collected specimens were photographed and recorded per the DNA barcoding process, and muscle tissue from specimen's pleopods was cut, preserved in 95% ethanol and stored at −20°C for subsequent molecular work. All voucher specimens were preserved and deposited in invertebrate collections at the National Taiwan University Museums (NTUM_INV), Taipei, Taiwan. In addition, tissue samples from three specimens of Kishinouyepenaeposis cornuta from India (deposited in the Department of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries, University of Kerala, DABFUK) and the type locality from Japan (deposited in the Natural History Museum and Institute, Chiba, CBM) were used to conduct molecular analysis. 2.2 | Molecular data collection Total genomic DNA was extracted from pleopod muscle using the automated extractor LabTurbo 48 Compact System and LGD 480-220 kits (Taigen Biosciences Corp.) following the manufacturer's protocol. Mitochondrial COI and 16S genes and nuclear protein-coding genes NaK and PEPCK were the gene markers targeted for molecular analyses in this study. To amplify each gene fragment, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out in a 25 μl volume consisting of 5X Green GoTaq® Flexi Buffer, 25 mM MgCl2 solution, 2.5 μM dNTP, 10 mM of each primer (see details below), 0.1 μl GoTaq® DNA Polymerase (Promega), 1–3 μl DNA template (concentration of ~10 ng/μl) and deionized water to volume. Cycling parameters consisted of an initial denaturation of 5 min at 95°C, followed by 35 cycles of denaturation (95°C, 1 min), annealing (53°C for COI and 16S rRNA and 50°C for NaK and PEPCK, 1 min), 1.30 min at 72°C and a final extension of 5 min at 72°C. PCR products were then purified using the AMPure magnetic bead cleanup protocol (Agencourt Bioscience Corp). Purified PCR products were Sanger-sequenced using dye-labelled terminators and dye-labelled fragment read on ABI 3730 analysers (Applied Biosystems) at Genomics BioSci and Tech (Taipei) and the Center of Biotechnology (National Taiwan University). Initially, we used the pair of universal primers for the COI gene following Folmer, Hoeh, Black, and Vrijenhoek (1994), but they failed to amplify certain species targeted in this study even though we paired the reverse primer (HCO2198) with one of the two forward primers, CRUSTF1 and CRUSTF2 as suggested in Costa et al. (2007). Therefore, we used the second primer sets following Palumbi et al. (1991). However, a problem arose when we compared the obtained sequences with reference sequences from the GenBank database. We noticed that the COI sequences deposited in GenBank for penaeid species belonged to fragments from two different regions with limited overlap sequences, named ‘Folmer region’ and ‘Palumbi region’ (Figure S2). To amend this, we designed a new set of COI primers for the Penaeidae named Penae_ COIF (5′-CTA CAA AYC ATA AAG ACA TYG GAA C-3′) and Penae_COIR (5′-TAG TAG GAG CTT AAR TCC TAT GCA TCT-3′). The amplified fragment spanned both regions and covered a nearly complete COI gene sequence. Universal primers 16Sar and 16Sbr (Palumbi et al., 1991) were used for 16S. To amplify and sequence the two nuclear gene markers, forward primer ‘NaK for- a’ and reverse primer ‘Nak rev 2’ were used for the NaK gene, and forward primer ‘PEPCK for’ and reverse primer ‘PEPCK rev’ were used for the PEPCK gene (Tsang, Ma, Ahyong, Chan, & Chu, 2008). 2.3 | Data assembly The obtained DNA sequences were assembled and edited using CodonCode Aligner v.6.0.2 (CodonCode Corporation). The sequences (usually at both ends) with low-quality or problematic base calls (below phred quality value Q 20) were verified by eye and manually trimmed. Edited sequences were compiled into two data sets (see below) and manually aligned based on inferred amino acid translation (for protein-coding genes) with Sequence Alignment Editor (Se-Al) v2.0a11 (Rambaut, 2002). The resulting sequences were blasted (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, BLAST, National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI) against the reference data in GenBank to check for potential contamination. Sequences of COI, NaK and PEPCK were translated into corresponding amino acids by Se-Al to check for the inclusion of pseudogenes (Song, Buhay, Whiting, & Crandall, 2008). Obtained sequences were deposited at NCBI (Nation Center for Biotechnology Information) GenBank (Accession Nos: COI [MT178513–MT178743], 16S rRNA [MT155937–MT155985], NaK [MT176243–MT176292], PEPCK [MT176293–MT176342]), as shown in Table S2. An additional 169 COI gene sequences, 57 16S gene sequences and 103 nuclear gene sequences of penaeid taxa retrieved from the GenBank were added into the data sets for further molecular analyses (Table S3 and Table S4). 2.4 | Data sets and phylogenetic reconstruction Two types of data sets (combined and COI gene only) were employed for subsequent analyses. The combined data set included sequences from four genes (COI, 16S rRNA, NaK and PEPCK) and was subject to higher-level phylogenetic HURZAID et al. inference carried out with 109 selected taxa from 98 species of 26 penaeid genera (Tables S2 and S3). Examined taxa were determined based on the phylogenetic results of the COI gene data set, with one representative selected from each resolved genetic lineage from the inferred tree. The COI gene data set consisted of 371 sequences of SEA shrimp samples and was primarily used for evaluating the validity of penaeid species and species diversity through phylogenetic and species delimitation analyses (see below). The sequences used were from 71 morphospecies that were either retrieved from GenBank or newly generated in this study (Tables S2 and S4). PAUP* software, version 4.0 (Swofford, 2003), was used to calculate descriptive statistics (sequence variations, base composition, etc.) for the compared sequences of each gene in the two data sets. For phylogenetic inference, both partitioned maximum-likelihood (ML) method and Bayesian inference (BI) were employed. The ML analysis was conducted by using RAxML v. 8. 0 (Stamatakis, 2014) with the nucleotide substitution model GTR + G. Partitions were set by gene and protein-coding position. Each analysis was conducted with ten independent runs, and the tree with the best ML score was selected as the final tree. BI was performed using MrBayes v. 3.2.6 (Ronquist et al., 2012) on the CIPRES Science Gateway (Miller, Pfeiffer, & Schwartz, 2010). Partition finder (Lanfear, Calcott, Ho, & Guindon, 2012) was used to select the best partition scheme and accompanying substitution model according to the Bayesian information criterion (Table S5). Metropolis-coupled Monte Carlo Markov chains (MCMCs) were run for 30 million generations in two simultaneous runs, each with four differently chains. Convergence of the estimates was checked by the standard deviation of split frequencies and by monitoring of the likelihood scores over time using Tracer v.1.6 (Rambaut, Suchard, Xie, & Drummond, 2014). Trees were sampled every 1,000 generations, and the first 2,500 (25%) were discarded as ‘burn-in’. The remaining sampled trees were collected to construct a 50% majority-rule consensus tree of BI. Nodal support of our phylogenetic inference was assessed by bootstrapping (BP) (Felsenstein, 1981) with the ML criterion, based on 1,000 pseudoreplicates and the resulting a posteriori probabilities (PP) from BI. Obtained trees were visualized and edited with FigTree v1.4.0 (Rambaut, 2012). We tested the resulting Penaeidae monophyly by including representative taxa from other Penaeoidea families, namely Aristaeus mabahissae (Aristeidae), Benthonectes filipes (Benthesicyimidae), Sicyonia lancifer (Sicyonidae) and Solenocera crassicornis (Solenoceridae), in the combined gene data set analyses. Two distantly related outgroups, Acetes sp. and Robustosergia robusta, were chosen by following the phylogenetic results of Ma et al. (2009) to root the inferred trees. 2.5 | | 5 Species delimitation In this study, analyses of the COI gene data set to delimit species were performed using two different tools: Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (Puillandre, Lambert, Brouillet, & Achaz, 2012) and Bayesian Poisson Tree Processes (Zhang, Kapli, Pavlidis, & Stamatakis, 2013). Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) is an exploratory tool based on pairwise distances of compared sequences to automatically detect the significance between intra- and interspecific variation (called barcode gap). The goal of ABGD is to improve and redefine groups (putative species or operational taxonomic units [OTUs]) based on sequence variation. The program first partitions data into groups based on a statistically inferred barcode gap and then the same procedure is recursively applied to the groups obtained in the first step. This analysis is performed at a web interface (http://wwwabi.snv.jussieu.fr/ public/abgd/) using a default value of relative gap width (X) as 1.0, intraspecific divergence (P) values from 0.001 to 0.1 with 20 steps and the K2P model (Kimura, 1980) for pairwise distance measurement. The Bayesian Poisson Tree Processes (bPTP) model infers putative species boundaries on a given phylogenetic tree. The model delimits species based on a phylogenetic species criterion, assessing speciation or branching events in terms of the number of mutations. bPTP analysis was conducted using a phylogenetic input tree. This tree was reconstructed by using a partitioned maximum-likelihood (ML) method based on the COI data set (by removing the repeated sequences with the same haplotype) with the GTR + G substitution model as implemented in RAxML v.8.0 (Stamatakis, 2014). The estimation of penaeid species delimitation with the bPTP model was conducted on the bPTP web server (http:/species.h-its.org/ptp/) with 500,000 MCMC generations and default parameters. The topology of the inferred phylogenetic tree based on the COI data set (i.e. resolved monophyletic groups) and genetic similarity estimated by K2P genetic distances (Kimura, 1980) using MEGA6 (Tamura, Stecher, Peterson, Filipski, & Kumar, 2013) were used to check whether ABGD and bPTP over- or underpredicted OTUs. Congruent results between bPTP and ABGD were considered to be robust support of the resulting OTUs, thus providing final justification for species inferences based on molecular data. Due to the presence of two COI sequence regions in GenBank with limited overlap, ABGD failed to compare these two regions in the initial run. Therefore, two data sets were used in the species delimitation analyses. The first data set was comprised of the COI sequences generated in this study plus the Folmer region from GenBank. The second data set included sequences generated in this study plus the GenBank Palumbi region. The number of OTUs generated from both data sets was then compared, and final validation was made.

Branch lengths are proportional to inferred nucleotide substitutions. Numbers at nodes represent bootstrap values in percentages (BP); values below 60% are not shown. Bold branches on the tree indicate statistically robust nodes with a posterior probabilities (PP) from partitioned Bayesian inference ≥ 0.95 isolation between putative species in the field can only be tested in sympatric species (Coyne & Orr, 2004), and thus, where incongruence was found between the clusters recognized by ABGD and bPTP analyses, we took the sympatry of the sister OTUs into consideration and merged allopatric sister OTUs (Kekkonen & Hebert, 2014). Additionally, further checking with morphological characteristics and/or photographs of specimens and other criteria/methods (reciprocal monophyly of the COI trees, biogeography and genetic diversity) (Hung, Russell, & Chen, 2017; Lo et al., 2017) was done to minimize the bias from these two analyses for the final validation. 3 3.1 | R E S U LTS | Characteristics of sequence data A total of 3,375 and 1,489 bp nucleotides were present from the aligned sequences of the targeted genes compiled into two operational data sets (combined [with 109 ingroup taxa] and COI [with 371 ingroup taxa]), respectively. No nucleotide insertions/deletions or stop codons were found in our aligned sequences. The lengths of the aligned sequences and other descriptive statistics for each gene and each data set are summarized in Table S6. Most of the variable sites are found at the third codon position of the protein-coding genes. Tests of base composition stationarity revealed no significant base composition bias across taxa at each codon position of each protein-coding gene. The subsequent phylogenetic analyses were thus performed on a matrix without an application of a down-weighted (or RY coding) strategy on the sites at the third codon position, an analytical scheme suggested by Chen and Mayden (2009) to avoid potential noise in phylogenetic reconstruction. 3.2 | Combined gene tree The results from the partitioned ML analysis and BI conducted with the combined data set are largely congruent. Here, only the ML tree was presented with support values from both ML and BI shown (Figure 1). In both resulting phylogenies, the traditionally defined Penaeidae is revealed as a paraphyletic group with respect to the Sicyoniidae. Among 26 penaeid genera examined in this study, 13 are resolved as monophyletic groups with high support values (BP ≥ 80; PP ≥ 0.95), except Funchalia (BP = 50; PP = 0.81), Melicertus (BP = 74; PP = 0.98), Atypopenaeus (BP = 56; PP = 0.98) and Trachysalambria (BP = 67; PP = 0.98). Six others were monotypic genera: Alcockpenaeopsis, Artemesia, Ganjampenaeopsis, Heteropenaeus, Pelagopenaeus and Xiphopenaeus. Three others (Penaeus, Parapenaeopsis and Mierspenaeopsis) are not monophyletic. Due to only a single sample being represented for the genera Batepenaeopsis, Penaeopsis, Rimapenaeus and Trachypenaeopsis, their monophyly was not tested in this study. Within the ‘Penaeidae’ + Sicyoniidae clade, three major clades were found with moderate support (BP = 87, 62 and 69; PP = 1.00, 1.00 and 0.99), which largely corroborated the traditional three-tribe classification scheme proposed by Burkenroad (1983): the Penaeini (Clade A), Parapenaeini (Clade B) and ‘Trachypenaeini’ (Clade C). Within Clade A, four subclades can be identified (ML bootstrap support values ranging from 81 to 100; PP ranging from 0.94 to 1.00), with the first subclade consisting of the genera Funchalia and Pelagopenaeus. These two genera together are sister to the rest of the members included in Clade A. The second subclade contains a single genus, Heteropenaeus, and is a sister group of Penaeus’ s.l., which is composed of two reciprocally monophyletic groups (third and fourth subclades). However, none of these higher-level sister-group relationships are supported (Figure 1). Within the third subclade, Marsupenaeus appears to be sister to Melicertus with high support. The fourth subclade includes Penaeus’ s.s. and three other genera, Farfantepenaeus, Litopenaeus and Fenneropenaeus. Here, Penaeus s.s. is found to be polyphyletic with at least three different lineages. Lineage I is sister to the rest of the members included in the subclade with high support. Lineages II, III and the monophyletic Fenneropenaeus form a strongly supported monophyletic group (Figure 1). Clade B can be further divided into three subclades with ML bootstrap support values ranging from 64 to 99 and with PP ≥ 0.95 (Figure 1). The first subclade contains all of the examined species from the genus Metapenaeopsis. The second subclade includes two genera, Artemesia and Penaeopsis, which together are sister to the third subclade containing all the examined species from the genus Parapenaeus. Clade C is composed of three main and well-supported (BP = 89, 94 and 93; PP = 1.00 for all) subclades and the two represented species from the genus Atypopenaeus (Figure 1). The first subclade includes a non-penaeid shrimp (Sicyonia lancifer) and a penaeid shrimp, Trachypenaeopsis mobilispinis, from the Trachypenaeini (BP = 89; PP = 1.00). The second well-supported subclade comprises all the examined species from the genus Metapenaeus. Within 8 | HURZAID et al. the third supported subclade, several strongly supported clades or sister-group relationships are resolved (Figure 1). These results confirm the monophyly of some recognized genera (Megokris and Kishinouyepenaeopsis), but reject others (Parapenaeopsis and Mierspenaeopsis). Parapenaeopsis contains two independent lineages with Parapenaeopsis II sister to Kishinouyepenaeopsis (BP = 95; PP = 1.00). Mierspenaeopsis is paraphyletic with respect to Ganjampenaeopsis, and these taxa together are sister to Parapenaeopsis I (= P. gracillima) but with only moderate support (BP = 61; PP = 0.98) (Figure 1). It is also noteworthy that the traditionally defined, Parapenaeopsis s.l., appears to be monophyletic, whereas Trachypenaeus s.l. is not (Figure 1). 3.3 | COI tree of SEA penaeids The inferred ML COI tree of SEA penaeids is presented in Figure S3. The interspecific relationships of each genus along with results from the species delimitation are illustrated and summarized in Figures 2 and 3. Despite its low phylogenetic resolution in terms of bootstrap support on inter-relationships among the genera of SEA penaeids, the result is congruent with the combined data set analysis (Figure 1 and Figure S3). Most of the highly supported nodes in the COI gene tree occur within the genus on shallow branches depicting sister-group relationships among closely related species and groupings of currently recognized species (Figures 2 and 3). When multiple samples were used in this study to represent a species, all but two of the known species were confirmed to be monophyletic with high bootstrap support. Melicertus canaliculatus and Marsupenaeus japonicus appear to be nonmonophyletic, because one of the individuals in Melicertus canaliculatus collected from the South China Sea (GenBank no. AY264893) is nested within the Marsupenaeus japonicus samples (Figure 2). This result is likely due to misidentification, especially for sources such as GenBank and BOLD databases. To assign a ‘true’ species name to each monophyletic clade, the identity of the species was reconfirmed by examining the deposited specimens in the NTUM_INV collection or validated by the clade that included samples collected from the type locality. | 3.4 Species delimitation The collected COI sequences from 71 recognized SEA penaeid species (371 specimens) were included for species delimitation analyses using ABGD and bPTP analysis tools. The ABGD analysis conducted by partitioning all of the individuals in the Folmer region (prior maximal distance, P = 0.0215) resulted in 87 OTUs by both distance metrics, JC69 and K2P. The sequences from the second data set aligned at the Palumbi region (prior maximal distance, P = 0.0215) generated 56 OTUs. The incongruent number of OTUs between these two data sets is due to the non-availability of common COI data. In fact, the number of representative sequences from the Folmer region (140 sequences) is higher than that from the Palumbi region (27 sequences) in GenBank. In summary, 91 OTUs were determined for ABGD analyses from the COI data sets, whereas the bPTP analysis predicts a higher number (96) of OTUs. Finally, 94 congruent OTUs were determined (Figures 2 and 3). Species recognition and disagreement between the obtained results are further explored below. 4 | DISCUSSION 4.1 | Phylogeny and taxonomy of the Penaeidae With an extensive sampling from the SEA, this study represents the most comprehensive investigation to date on the molecular phylogeny of the Penaeidae. The data were generated from four gene markers in both mitochondrial and nuclear genomes from 98 of 224 known morphospecies. One of the striking results (already known from previous studies) is the paraphyly of the Penaeidae with respect to Sicyoniidae. Based on morphology, the Sicyoniidae has many distinctive characteristics not found in other penaeoid members; for F I G U R E 2 Partial phylogenetic tree of South-East Asian penaeids inferred by the partitioned maximum-likelihood method with GTR + G nucleotide substitution model based on the COI gene data set and results from species delimitation analyses and three additional criteria.

Another characteristic often used to differentiate Sicyoniidae from other penaeoids is their rigid and stony integument (Pérez Farfante & Kensley, 1997). However, this character is problematic, as a few Sicyonia species have non-rigid integument (Crosnier, 2003; Yu & Chan, 1986). Also, the shape of the genitalia of sicyoniid shrimps, particularly the very rigid and strongly ridged petasma of males, is similar to that of those found in many penaeid genera of Trachypenaeini and some Parapenaeini. An inference from our phylogenetic results (Figure 1) suggests that this feature might derive from the common ancestor of Clades B and C, which includes the Parapenaeini, Trachypenaeini and Sicyoniidae, but was secondarily lost in some lineages. Robalino, Wilkins, BrackenGrissom, Chan, and O'Leary (2016) also observed four synapomorphic characters for Sicyonia based on a limited taxon sampling. These characters should thus be autapomorphic within the Clade C. Finally, given the present phylogenetic results, it is reasonable to synonymize Sicyoniidae with Trachypenaeidae (Figure 1) as suggested by other studies HURZAID et al. (Cheng et al., 2018; Ma et al., 2009; Robalino et al., 2016). The putative synapomorphic characters for the taxonomic groups resolved in this study and potential autapomorphic characters to ‘sicyoniids’ are shown in Table S7 for reference. Further morphological investigation is required to identify the ‘true’ synapomorphic characters for the Trachypenaeidae. As for the generic level, Pérez Farfante and Kensley (1997) separated Penaeus s.l., into six genera. This classification was based on characters such as grooves on the carapace and the last abdominal somite, hepatic ridges, thelycum shape and geographic distribution (Lavery et al., 2004). Our phylogenetic results confirm the monophyly of five proposed genera (Marsupenaeus, Litopenaeus, Farfantepenaeus, Fenneropenaeus and Melicertus), but reveal a polyphyletic Penaeus s.s. (Figure 1). These results are mostly congruent to the previous 16S and COI data molecular studies conducted by Lavery et al. (2004) and Ma et al. (2011) with combined data from both mitochondrial and nuclear genes. In general, the division of Penaeus s.l., into two clades (Melicertus + Marsupenaeus and Fenneropenaeus + Farfan tepenaeus + Litopenaeus + Penaeus s.s.) and non-monophyletic status for Penaeus s. s. are always supported. However, we did not find any shared morphological characters that supported the grouping of these two clades. Metapenaeopsis is the most diverse penaeid shrimp genus. Based on morphology, Crosnier (1987, 1991, 1994a, 1994b) proposed that the species in Metapenaeopsis can be separated into two groups according to the shape of the genitalia. The first group contains species with one valve in the petasma, including one IWP distributed species, M. commensalis, and 10 other species distributed in the Atlantic and East Pacific. The second group is composed of the remaining Metapenaeopsis species characterized by a two-valved petasma, including at least 58 species that are all found in the Indo-West Pacific. This latter group can be further divided into two subgroups, one with a stridulating organ and the other without. A previous phylogenetic study by Tong, Chan, and Chu (2000) with mtDNA 16S and COI gene data from seven Metapenaeopsis species distributed in the Indo-West Pacific showed that M. commensalis was separated from other two-valved petasma species with high support. Within the two-valved petasma group, two clades were found, each with and without a stridulating organ, with high and low bootstrap support, respectively (Tong et al., 2000). Cheng, Sha, and Liu (2015), using 16S, NaK and PEPCK gene data on 14 Metapenaeopsis species, also found that the two species having only one petasma valve (M. commensalis and M. sp.) were separated from the other species having two valves. However, the remaining Metapenaeopsis species with twovalved petasmas formed a monophyletic group but with weak support. Similar to the previous study, species with the stridulating organ constituted a strongly supported clade. On the other hand, species without the stridulating organ formed a | 11 paraphyletic group. In our inferred phylogeny, even though we used a higher number of taxa (in 17 species) and more markers than in previous studies, groupings suggested by morphology are not clear due to low phylogenetic resolution. Nevertheless, the major pattern of relationships among all studied taxa was similar across all these studies, which consistently reinforce the monophyly of Metapenaeopsis with high support values. Parapenaeus shrimps are generally found in deeper waters (usually >100 m in depth). At present, 16 extant species are known from this genus (Crosnier, 2005; Pérez Farfante & Kensley, 1997), with most of them (13/16) found in the IndoWest Pacific. No fossilized Parapenaeus shrimp has ever been found (Schweitzer, Feldmann, Garassino, Karasawa, & Schweigert, 2010). The Atlantic species are P. americanus, P. longirostris and P. politus. Crosnier (1986), Crosnier (2005) proposed that the IWP species form four groups based on genital organ similarities. The first group, namely the ‘longipes’ group, includes only P. longipes; the second group, namely the ‘investigoris’ group, contains P. Pérezfarfante, P. investigatoris and P. murrayi; and the third ‘fissurus’ group includes all the remaining species, while the fourth group includes three species within the ‘fissurus’ group, later named the ‘sextuberculatus’ group. In the present study, even though all species in this genus are included, the grouping suggested by morphology is still ambiguous due to the absence of significant phylogenetic support. Yet, the monophyly of this genus is well supported, in congruence with a previous study (Yang et al., 2015). Within Metapenaeus, our phylogenetic results show that this genus is bifurcated into two major clades with high and moderate bootstrap support. The first clade consists of M. dobsoni, M. lysianassa, M. joyneri, M. brevicornis and M. tenuipes, while the second clade contains M. elegans, M. intermedius, M. ensis, M. affinis, M. anchistus and M. conjuctus. Our morphological examinations found that the rostrums of the species from the first clade are more or less crest-like and with the anterior 1/3 or even 1/2 unarmed. The species from the second clade have nearly straight rostrums armed with teeth almost along the entire length. Moreover, of the species examined, only M. intermedius and M. anchistus present movable lateral teeth on the telson but these two species do not form a clade. In 1997, Pèrez Farfante and Kensley separated the traditionally defined genus Trachypenaeus s.l. into four genera and added three more genera: Megokris, Rimapenaeus and Trachysalambria. This proposition was mainly based on the different shapes of the genitalia, particularly the thelycum. Our inferred phylogenetic tree confirms the monophyly of the two proposed genera Megokris and Trachysalambria with high and moderate support, respectively. However, due to only one species of Rimapenaeus being sampled, the monophyletic status of this genus cannot be tested. This revised 12 | classification has also been supported by previous molecular analyses, which revealed that Trachypenaeus s.l. was polyphyletic (Chan et al., 2008; Ma et al., 2009). Sakai and Shinomiya (2011) split the genus Parapenaeopsis s.l. into eight genera. Our present molecular analyses included taxa from all these genera except Arafurapenaeopsis and Holthuispenaeopsis. Referring to the classification based on petasma morphology proposed by Sakai and Shinomiya (2011), our study confirms the monophyletic status of Kishinouyepenaeopsis with high support, similar to the findings of Li et al. (2014). The genus Mierspenaeopsis, which is unique in having leaf-shaped distomedian projections of the petasma unlike other members of Parapenaeopsis s.l., was found to be paraphyletic with the monotypic genus Ganjampenaeopsis nested within it but with low support. Here, we resolve the genus Parapenaeopsis s.l. to be paraphyletic, with P. gracillima grouped with Mierspenaeopsis and Ganjampenaeopsis with moderate support. The other two congenic species, P. stylifera and P. coromandelica, appear to be sister to each other with high support. The morphological characters used for diagnosing Parapenaeopsis s.l. from other genera should be symplesiomorphic. Finally, according to conventional classification, P. coromandelica Alcock, 1906, was considered a synonym of P. stylifera because of their similarly shaped petasmas (Chanda, 2016; George, 1973; Pathan & Jalihal, 1998; Racek & Dall, 1965; Ravindranath, 1989; Sakai & Shinomiya, 2011). However, our molecular results show that these two species are genetically distinct and each also contains cryptic species. Similar results were found by Chowdhury et al. (2018) using COI and 16S rRNA genes. Therefore, both should be regarded as valid species. Overall, the current inclusive phylogenetic analyses of the Penaeidae have re-evaluated several aspects of the ambiguous evolutionary relationships among its genera, in particular the newly proposed classification of the genus Parapenaeopsis (Sakai & Shinomiya, 2011), which has not been properly addressed until now. Previously, phylogenetic studies on the Penaeidae have focused solely on mtDNA (Chan et al., 2008; Cheng et al., 2018; Quan et al., 2004; Vazquez-Bader et al., 2004; Voloch et al., 2005) or nuclear DNA (Ma et al., 2009; Robalino et al., 2016), with few studies combining both markers, but emphasized only on selected genera within the Penaeidae (Cheng et al., 2015; Ma et al., 2011; Yang et al., 2015). Generally, mitochondrial DNA sequences are susceptible to obscure phylogenetic signals because mitochondrial genes have characteristics that tend to lead to high levels of homoplasy resulting from extreme compositional biases, rapid nucleotide substitution and highly asymmetrical transformation rate matrices (Chen, Lheknim, & Mayden, 2009; Johnson & Clayton, 2000; Lin & Danforth, 2004). In contrast, nuclear protein-coding genes exhibit better performance in recovering phylogenetic HURZAID et al. relationships at deeper taxonomic levels and provide greater bootstrap support (Ma et al., 2009). Therefore, an analysis combining both mitochondrial and nuclear genes to resolve the phylogeny of the Penaeidae and its allies should provide a better insight into their systematics because the two types of data are unlinked and evolved under different evolutionary constraints. However, it is important to note that even when using the combined sequences of four markers (COI, 16S rRNA, NaK and PEPCK) and a comprehensive set of samples (98 penaeid species), some phylogenetic relationships within the family remain uncertain. Obviously, more genes and taxa must be sequenced in the future to clarify the taxonomic issues of the genera in the Penaeidae and its relatives. 4.2 | Species diversity and taxonomy in SEA Penaeidae Species diversity and taxonomy were further explored in this study with supplementary species delimitation analyses using ABGD and bPTP. With an input of 71 morphospecies, 91 and 96 putative species (OTUs) were detected from ABGD and bPTP, respectively (Figures 2 and 3); 94 congruent and robust OTUs were found in both analyses. These results suggest that the species diversity of the Penaeidae is underestimated. In general, bPTP analysis tends to generate more OTUs than ABGD due to the different algorithms applied in each (Hung et al., 2017). ABGD is based on the genetic distance of compared sequences, whereas bPTP assess speciation events in terms of the number of mutations along the gene genealogy. In this study, further evaluation of discordant OTUs was made by considering the combined evidence from monophyletic groups of the COI gene tree, geographic distribution and morphology. Below, we first discuss the discordant results between the two species delimitation analyses performed in this study. In our research, bPTP tends to merge sister OTUs, while ABGD does not do so for Parapenaeus fissuroides and P. indicus, and P. ruberoculatus and P. sextuberculatus (Figure 2). However, these taxa belong to the four respected morphospecies and are genetically distinct (Figures 1 and 2). Thus, we consider that they are four distinct species regardless of the bPTP results. In some other cases, ABGD tends to merge sister OTUs that are determined by bPTP. These are L. vannamei, P. monodon, P. stylifera, K. incisa (ECS lineage) and K. cf. cornuta (Strait of Malacca and Andaman Sea lineage) (Figures 2 and 3). In most of the cases mentioned above, further examination of morphology was not possible due to the non-availability of specimens. Because of the short genetic distance (P < 3%), the emergence of those sister clusters into single inferred species is tentatively suggested except for L. vannamei, P. monodon and P. stylifera. In L. vannamei, the GenBank sequence from Brazil (AY344218) could be a putative species HURZAID et al. due to the large genetic distance (K2P = 4.1%–6.3%) with the other L. vannamei sequences (Figure 2). Similarly, in P. monodon, the GenBank sequence from Mumbai (KC409381) also shows a high degree of genetic divergence (K2P = 4.1%–5%) in comparison with other P. monodon sequences (Figure 2). We therefore tentatively consider Brazil's L. vannamei and Mumbai's P. monodon as separate species from their original status. However, further verification is necessary by including additional sequences (to check the sequence accuracy) and/or by detailed morphological examination of specimens when they become available. Five samples of P. stylifera from the Indian Ocean were included in the analyses, resulting in two reciprocal monophyletic groups in the COI tree that corresponded to two bPTP OTUs (Figure 3). We thus took the sympatry of the sister OTUs into consideration and validated them as two putative species. A total of 94 species are inferred within the SEA Penaeidae, of which 71 match the current definition of morphospecies (Figures 2 and 3), revealing an underestimated biodiversity. Multiple inferred species clusters were observed in the following morphospecies: Fenneropenaeus merguiensis (2 species), introduced Litopenaeus vannamei (2 species), Penaeus semisulcatus (4 species), Penaeus monodon (4 species), Metapenaeus affinis (2 species), Metapenaeus dobsoni (2 species), Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis (3 species), Mierspenaeopsis hardwickii (3 species), Parapenaeopsis coromandelica (2 species), Kishinouyepenaeopsis incisa (2 species) and Kishinouyepenaeopsis cornuta (5 species). These inferred species clusters include some questionable taxa that are either undescribed or simply not well identified, and some cryptic species. However, for those sequences downloaded from GenBank or BOLD (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis, Litopenaeus vannamei, Metapenaeus affinis, Metapenaeus dobsoni, Penaeus semisulcatus and Parapenaeopsis stylifera), further morphological examination was not possible due to there being no access to specimens. One specimen, identified as Melicertus canaliculatus (sequence retrieved from GenBank, accession no. AY264893) from the South China Sea, clustered tightly with specimens of Marsupenaeus japonicus and is likely a misidentification (Figure 2). According to Chan (1998), the misidentification between these two known species often occurs due to their similar morphological appearance. We discuss below some cases that need further taxonomic consideration. 4.2.1 | Mierspenaeopsis spp. Our study highlights the inferred existence of three cryptic species in M. hardwickii, the first being represented by a single sample from India (Indian Ocean) that is sister to a second collected from the Strait of Malacca, Malaysia. The third species is indicated by samples from the South China Sea | 13 (Malaysia) and GenBank sequences from China and Taiwan. The biogeographic pattern of genetic structuring observed in the third species is further supported by both ABGD and bPTP analyses and suggests the hypothesis of a South China Sea origin with later invasion to other regions (Figure 3). However, a contrasting biogeographic pattern of genetic structuring is detected in another Mierspenaeopsis species, M. sculptilis. Our specimens collected from the South China Sea reveal a sister relationship to the GenBank sequences from India with strong support, whereas specimens from the Strait of Malacca are sister to them. The oceanographic features that could enable the biogeographic patterns observed in this and other Mierspenaeopsis species clusters require more investigation. A higher number of samples encompassing a wider sampling area across species distribution ranges and detailed analyses on population genetics would provide a better insight into the genetic structuring (and the influencing factors) observed in these species. 4.2.2 | Parapenaeopsis coromandelica complex A pattern of biogeographic structuring was also observed among samples within the P. coromandelica complex, with two cryptic species being detected. The first inferred species included our samples collected from West Aceh, Indonesia (Indian Ocean). This species is sister to the samples collected from the Strait of Malacca, Malaysia and the GenBank sequences from India and Sri Lanka. Both ABGD and bPTP analyses recognized these two inferred species as distinct species, and this is further confirmed by the topology of individual and combined gene trees (Figures 1 and 3). In this study, all individuals were examined morphologically (except for sequences downloaded from GenBank). However, we cannot find any morphological characters to distinguish them from each other. The presence of at least two cryptic species in this morphospecies is tentatively suggested. 4.2.3 | Kishinouyepenaeopsis spp. Three morphospecies were present within Kishinouyepenaeopsis, namely K. amicus, K. incisa and K. cornuta. From our molecular analyses, however, eight inferred species were revealed in this genus (Figure 3). Our morphological examination of the collected specimens revealed that the three morphospecies shared similarly shaped petasmas, but their thelycums were different from each other. The female K. amicus thelycum lacks a median lobe but has a longitudinal median grove, pereiopod III is without a basial spine, and male pleopod II is normal (Figure S4). The thelycum of K. incisa lacks a median lobe and a longitudinal median groove, male 14 | HURZAID et al. pereiopod III is without a basial spine, and pleopod II of the male is abnormal. In K. cornuta, the thelycum is characterized by a large median lobe, pereiopod III has a basial spine, and pleopod II is abnormal in the male. Our molecular results suggest that ‘K. cornuta’ contains five inferred species (assigned as Kcor sp. I to Kcor sp. V supported by ABGD, bPTP and phylogenetic analyses; Figure 1, Figure S3 and S4). Geographic factors tend to be important in their species diversification. Kcor sp. I is represented by a single individual collected from Indonesia (Indian Ocean); Kcor sp. II includes samples collected only from Indonesia (Strait of Malacca); Kcor sp. III contains samples from Malaysia and Thailand (Strait of Malacca and Andaman Sea); Kcor sp. IV exhibits no obvious geographic structuring and comprises the specimen from the type locality from Japan and others from India and China; and Kcor sp. V includes samples collected only from Malaysia's coast off the South China Sea. Among the different inferred species in ‘K. cornuta’, we cannot detect significant morphological differences in the shape of their genital organs, which is considered one of the most useful diagnostic characters for species identification in the Penaeidae (Chan, 1998). However, we observe that their body colour patterns are different and may be used for species identification (Figure S5). Kcor sp. I: the first through third abdominal segments are banded reaching to the ventral end; bands are absent on the fourth to sixth abdominal segments but replaced with conspicuous dots in the middle of the body; the rostrum has no stripe; a blotch is absent on the dorsal crest; and the distal part of the uropod has a reddish margin. Kcor sp. II: body is greyish in colour, and discontinuous bands are on the first to third body segments; rostrum has no stripe, and blotch is absent on the dorsal crest; and the distal part of the uropod is greyish in colour. Kcor sp. III: distinct bands extending to the end of the body were observed on all body segments; rostrum has no stripe; dark and distinct blotch is on the dorsal crest; and the distal part of uropods is with a patch of striking yellow. Kcor sp. IV: we are not able to describe the colour pattern since the specimens examined have been preserved in alcohol. Kcor sp. V: all six abdominal segments have a discontinuous band not reaching to the end of the body; indistinct blotch is on the dorsal crest; conspicuous stripe is on rostrum; and the distal part of the uropod has patch of bright yellow (Figure S5). In ‘K. incisa’, we are unable to find any morphological characters or body colour patterns to differentiate specimens from one inferred species to another (SOM versus. ECS species) (Figure 3). 4.2.4 | Penaeus monodon complex Penaeus monodon was thought to be a widespread species with its distribution ranging from south-east Africa to eastern Australia to Japan (Dore & Frimodt, 1987). However, numerous instances of cryptic diversity within Penaeus monodon have been documented (Alam, Westfall, & Pálsson, 2016; Benzie, Ballment, & Frusher, 1993; Klinbunga, Penman, McAndrew, & Tassanakajon, 1999; Klinbunga et al., 2001; Palumbi & Benzie, 1991; Sodsuk, 1996; Tassanakajon et al., 2006). Based on the available samples examined in the present study, four cryptic species can be determined in P. monodon, which is supported by species delimitation analyses and phylogenetic analyses. The first inferred species (Pmon sp. I; n = 8) contains samples collected only from western Aceh and is sister to the other three species. The second inferred species (Pmon sp. II; n = 8) is widespread, including samples collected from the Strait of Malacca and South China Sea, and GenBank sequences from China, India and Sri Lanka, and is paraphyletic with respect to Pmon sp. III (GenBank sequence from Mumbai, western India). The individuals from Pmon sp. II and Pmon sp. III together form a sister clade to Pmon sp. IV (n = 10, samples collected from the Strait of Malacca, South China Sea, Celebes Sea and Andaman Sea) (Figure 2). Upon closer inspection of ‘P. monodon’ specimens, we find that Pmon sp. I individuals possess four distinct morphological characters that are not shared with Pmon species II to IV (Figure S6). The first character is the length of the rostrum, which is slightly longer and more pointed than other ‘P. monodon’ species. The second character is the body colour, which is greyish greenish or dark greenish-blue without transverse banding as seen in other species. The third character is the uropod lacking the mud-yellow median transverse band present in other ‘P. monodon’ species. The fourth character is the antennal flagella with a light yellow stripe, whereas this structure is uniformly greenish-brown in other species. However, no obvious differences in morphology or body colour pattern were observed among specimens of Pmon sp. II, Pmon sp. III and Pmon sp. IV. 4.3 | Recommendation of a new set DNA barcoding primers for shrimps The idea of DNA barcoding is the utilization of a short fragment of mitochondrial COI gene as a ‘barcode’ to identify different species and assess cryptic diversity (Hebert, Stoeckle, Zemlak, & Francis, 2004; Ward, Zemlak, Innes, Last, & Hebert, 2005). The advantage of using COI is that it is short enough to be sequenced quickly and cheaply yet long enough to identify variations among species. Decapoda DNA barcoding is primarily based on a specific region of the COI gene that is PCR-amplified by primers HCO2198 and LCO1490 (‘Folmer primers’) designed by Folmer et al. (1994). Based on our own experience and discussions with colleagues, these primers are not ‘universal’ enough and often perform poorly HURZAID et al. or fail altogether, producing vague products despite attempts at optimization. Similarly, this problem was also reported by Geller, Meyer, Parker, and Hawk (2013). Until now, several studies have attempted to design new universal primers for Decapoda (Fernandes, Silva, Costa, Oliveira, & Mafra, 2017; Geller et al., 2013; Mantelatto et al., 2016). However, the presence of two different COI-amplified regions with limited overlap in the GenBank database has not only led to confusion among taxonomists but also obscured the advancement of taxonomic work (Figure S2). In this study, we designed a new pair of barcoding primers for Penaeidae. These novel primers, namely Penae_COIF and Penae_COIR, span both the Folmer and Palumbi regions and can successfully amplify a nearly complete COI gene from all of the penaeid taxa tested (1,425 bp). With a longer region being sequenced, phylogenetic resolution is improved as seen by a great proportion of nodes being supported by 80% and higher bootstrap values on the inferred COI tree. We also tested this new pair of primers on the samples of other families within the Superfamily Penaeoidea, and it proved to work well on PCR and sequencing.
