Costa, Wanessa da Silva Barcellos, Aline Brailovsky, Harry Cladistic analysis of Spartocerini Amyot & Serville 1843 (Hemiptera, Coreidae, Coreinae) <p>Among the 32 tribes of Coreinae currently recognized, Spartocerini comprises 66 extant species distributed in six genera: <i>Euagona </i>Dallas, <i>Eubule </i>Stål, <i>Menenotus </i>Laporte, <i>Molchina</i> Amyot & Serville, <i>Sephina </i>Amyot & Serville and <i>Spartocera</i> Laporte, distributed exclusively in the Western Hemisphere. We performed cladistic analyses using equal (EW) and also implied weighting (IW) based on 56 terminals (23 belonging to the ingroup) and 115 morphological characters, including male and female genitalia. Spartocerini was polyphyletic both under EW and IW because <i>Molchina</i> was nested in Mictini. We remove <i>Molchina </i>from Spartocerini and consider the genus as <i>incertae sedis</i>. <i>Spartocera</i>, <i>Eubule, </i>and <i>Sephina</i> were not recovered as monophyletic. <i>Sephina pubera </i>(Erichson) is considered as <i>incertae sedis</i> within Spartocerini, <i>Eubule ampliata</i> Valdés is transferred to <i>Spartocera</i> as a new combination, and <i>Mamurius </i>is included in Anisoscelini.</p> classification;incertae sedis;morphology;phylogeny;systematics;taxonomy;Evolutionary Biology;Evolutionary Biology not elsewhere classified 2020-06-09
