The Neighbor-Joining approach was used to infer the evolutionary history. The evolutionary history of the taxa investigated is represented by the bootstrap consensus tree, which is derived from 1000 replicates. The Maximum Composite Likelihood approach was utilized to calculate the evolutionary distances, which are expressed in the units of base substitutions per site. The present study includes a total of 16 nucleotide sequences. The final dataset consisted of a total of 9243 locations. Evolutionary analyses were performed using the MEGA 11 software
