The melanognatha -group

The monophyly of the melanognatha -group is supported by a single synapomorphy: the spermathecae are distally modified, usually divergent and internally with a specific arrangement of the duct (Ch. 94, state 5). The phylogenetic analysis suggests that it is the sister-group of ( allantoides - + tricuspida -group).
