| Abstract: | "Previous classifications and phylogenetic trees of the Asiloidea and the Bombyliidae are reviewed. Data from male genital musculature presented by Ovchinnikova (1989) and female genitalia by Muhlenberg (1971b) are reanalyzed within a numerical cladistic framework. A cladogram of the Bombyliidae and their relatives is constructed based on a data matrix containing 87 taxa and 154 characters. This study includes 24 non-Bombyliidae taxa used as outgroups, from the families Rhagionidae, Nemestrinidae, Acroceridae, Asilidae, Therevidae, Apioceridae, Mydidae, Scenopinidae, Hilarimorphidae, and Apsilocephalidae. I chose 63 ingroup species representing all the currently accepted subfamilies and tribes except the Xenoprosopinae and Villoestrini. 147 of the characters used were derived from adult morphology and 7 were from larval morphology. The data set was analyzed using the parsimony program Hennig86 which identified 8 most parsimonious trees, each with a length of 716 steps, consistency inde... |
