The Decticini and Ctenodecticini (Orth., Tettigoniidae) are not monophyletic: a total evidence approach

عنوان دوره: اولین کنگره بین المللی حشره شناسی ایران

The first phylogenetic hypothesis for the Decticini and Ctenodecticini is presented based on the total evidence of morphological and molecular datasets of 37 representatives of the two tribes and close taxa. The simultaneous dataset includes 1779 characters, of which 211 are morphological (discrete and continuous) and the rest are molecular data (mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase-b, nuclear 28S rDNA, and mitochondrial 16S rDNA). Parsimony analyses were carried out on each of the datasets, singly and simultaneously. The phylogenetic trees of each analysis were compared with each other and matched up with the results of previous works. As a result, monophyly of the Decticini and Ctenodecticini is rejected and both are suggested as junior synonyms of Platycleidini.
