“…In the past, Dolerini was not included in Selandriinae but assigned to its own subfamily "Doleriinae" on the basis of several morphological characters, such as the absence of a prepectus and the presence of an anal cell with a crossvein (Ross 1937;Benson 1938). The morphological characters of "Doleriinae", however, are shared by Adelestini and Heptamelini (Benson 1938;Takeuchi 1941;Smith 1969), so we consider the close relationship of Adelestini and Dolerini found in this study to be reliable. Naito (1975) showed closely relationship between one genus of the Strongylogastrini (Pseudohemitaxonus) and Adelestini (Adelesta and Nipponorhynchus), comparing with morphologies among Adelesta, Nipponorhynchus and three genera of Figure 1 Molecular phylogeny of Selandriinae and node-dating analysis results.…”

“…Selandriinae comprises approximately 70 genera, and eight to nine tribes have been defined, but not all of the genera have been assigned to a tribe (Benson 1938;1952;Takeuchi 1941;Ross 1951;Smith 1969;Naito 1982;Noblecourt 2004).

“…Takeuchi (1941) and Naito (1982) combined Aneugmenini and Selandriini into a single tribe, which they called "Selandriini", because of their shared morphological characters; for example, the presence of a prepectus and the anal cell of the forewing without a crossvein (Benson 1938;Takeuchi 1941;Smith 1969).

Selandriinae, a subfamily of family Tenthredinidae (Hymenoptera: Symphyta), comprises multiple tribes, each of which has a relationship with specific plant group. The host specificity of the Selandriinae taxa provides a good model to examine the coevolution between hosts and insects. However, few phylogenetic studies for the Selandriinae obscure the evolutionary scenario with their host‐plants. The present study is a molecular phylogenetic analysis of 19 selandriine species based on mitochondrial genes (12S: 461 sites, 16S: 262sites and COI: 495 sites) and nuclear genes (18S: 773 sites and 28S: 495 sites). The results suggested three of six studied tribes are genetically isolated. Moreover, estimation of the time of molecular divergence showed that the Selandriinae clearly diverged at the same time as their host‐plants (monocots and ferns). These results suggested that the Selandriinae species might have codiversified with their hosts.

“…Benson (1938) placed the genus in the subfamily Allantinae because of similar wing venation and other structural characters (Benson 1938) but created a new tribe, Cladiuchini, for the genus. Taeger et al (2010) continued with placement in the Allantinae but did not recognize tribes.…”

“…It has been placed by most recent specialists in the subfamily Allantinae. Benson (1938) erected the tribe Xenapateini for Xenapates and some similar Oriental taxa, based solely on characters of wing venation that have since proved to be of limited value in the taxonomy of Blennocampinae and Allantinae (Koch and Liston 2012). Koch (1996) redefined the Xenapateini using characters of the adult mouthparts.…”

The immature stages and host plants of Xenapates Kirby, 1882 were hitherto unknown. We describe the larvae, prepupae and pupae of X. braunsi (Konow, 1896) and X. gaullei (Konow, 1896), and record observations on aspects of their biology. The relationship of Xenapates to other taxa currently placed in the Allantinae and Blennocampinae of the Tenthredinidae remains unclear. Most larval characters of Xenapates resemble those described for West Palaearctic Allantini (Allantinae) and some Blennocampinae, but unique amongst exophytic larvae of Tenthredinoidea is the complete absence of cuticular appendages on the dorsum of the trunk in the two Xenapates species studied. The setose outer surface of the abdominal prolegs of Xenapates, and the presence of a mesal ridge only on the left mandible, are character states that have not so far been recorded in other genera currently placed in the Allantinae or Blennocampinae. Larval host plants of X. braunsi are Digitaria horizontalis, Pennisetum purpureum, Setaria barbata and Zea mays (all Poaceae). X. gaullei larvae feed on two Commelina species (Commelinaceae). Larvae of both species are easy bleeders.
