Reconstruction of the Phylogeny of the Rhynchitids and Leaf-rolling Weevils (Coleoptera, Rhynchitidae, Attelabidae) Using the Synap Method: Communication 1

摘要

The phylogenetic relationships in the families Rhynchitidae and Attelabidae have been reconstructed. The main synapomorphies have been revealed. The morphologically advanced groups have been distinguished in the families studied. The family Attelabidae forms two large branches. The most advanced is the supertribe Rhynchititae, the representatives of which could adapt not only to development in various parts of a plant, but also to rolling leaf packages. This supertribe consists of eight well-definedtribes forming three groups: (1) Auletini and Minurini; (2) Cesauletini, Eugnamptini and Isotheini; (3) Pterocolini, Rhynchitini and Byctiscini.
