Hi Matthew,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the MEGA software. Thanks for the feedback. It looks like the documentation for defining groups is out of date. Which version of MEGA are you using? In newer versions of MEGA, the ; (semicolon) character is replaced by the | (pipe) character. So in MEGAX you could use something like:
                _{species.marulius|population.India}
Note that I changed country to population because up to MEGA version X only group, species, and population are supported. In MEGA 11 (still in alpha) support was added for country as well as other geo/temporal specifications. Also, in MEGA11 the format is changed to:
                _{species=marulius|country=India}
