Litter bugs exposed: phylogenetic relationships of Dipsocoromorpha (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) based on molecular data

Abstract: Species in the heteropteran infraorder Dipsocoromorpha, or litter bugs, are small, cryptic, stunningly diverse and understudied. In addition to the vast amount of species discovery and morphological explora tion that remain to be done in this group, phylogenetic relationships within the litter bugs are poorly understood. A phylogenetic framework will make Dipsocoromorpha more accessible for systematic stud ies at all levels and is therefore a first step towards a comprehensive treatment of the group. Using a m… Show more

“…However, Štys also pointed out that the monophyly of the group is far from being well established (Štys 2014 ;Weirauch and Schuh 2011 ). Molecular data were virtually unavailable until recently (Wheeler et al 1993 ;Schuh et al 2009 ) and are still scarce after the fi rst published molecular study focusing on relationships among the three larger families of Dipsocoromorpha (Weirauch and Štys 2014 ). Weirauch and Štys ( 2014 ), based on molecular cladistic analyses of 87 taxa (35 of them Dipsocoromorpha) and two gene regions, found strong support for the monophyly of Dipsocoromorpha and the three included families.…”

The three recognized subfamilies of Schizopteridae were included in the analyses: Hypselosomatinae were supported as the sister taxon to a clade comprising the Ogeriinae and Schizopterinae.…”
