摘　　要：The mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequences of 40species of cheilostome bryozoans including those of 24species newly determined were used to reconstruct thephylogenetic tree using neighboring-joining andmaximum-parsi- mony methods. By applying molecularclock technique on the basis of the appropriate phylogenyand the fossil record, the divergence times of the two maincheilostome groups, Anasca and Ascophora sensu stricto,were estimated. The results show that the molecularphylogeny of the higher taxonomic groups (superfamilies andhigher taxa) of cheilostome bryozoans is mostly in conflictwith the morphology-based phylogenetic trees; thedivergence of the extant groups of Anasca and those ofAscophora sensu stricto is estimated to have happened about263 Ma (Permian Guadalupian Epoch) and 183 Ma (EarlyJurassic), respectively.The mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequences of 40 species of cheilostome bryozoans including those of 24 species newly determined were used to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree using neighboring-joining and maximum-parsimony methods.
