Phylogeny of the tribe elachipterini (diptera: chloropidae)

The phylogenetic relationships of the tribe Elachipterini were investigated based on the examination of 75 species from most zoogeographical realms except the Australasian realm. Sixty-eight exemplar species were included in a cladistic analysis based on 77 morphological characters of adult...
