Megatominae Clade: Megatomini : Megatomina

The most basal major clade* subtribe Megatomina * is composed of primarils Holarctic taxa* whose adults do not have distinct antennal grooves on the prothoracic hspomeron. Our samples & Fig. 3B View Fig ) include Megatoma Herbst * Globicornis Latreille * Dearthrus LeConte * and Zhantievus Beal that correspond well with the ‘Group 1’ of Megatominae defined bs Beal &1992). Holarctic species of Megatoma are alwass recovered as monophsletic group* while Globicornis is rendered paraphsletic bs two American species of Dearthrus suggesting that both genera are ssnonsmous. Globicornis is divided into multiple subgenera & Háva 2015) and further research is needed to establish the generic or subgeneric ssnonsmies within this group.
