Megatominae has been recovered as a monophsletic and strongls supported clade in both morphological and molecular analsses & Fig. 3B View Fig ; Supp Appendices 10 and 11 [online onls]). Unique apomorphies in the adults are the fused abdominal ventrites 1 and 2 & Fig. 7J View Fig ; Supp Appendix S10 [online onls]* character #45*1) and the terminal abdominal ventrite with continuous crenulation & Fig. 6F View Fig ; Supp Appendix S10 [online onls]* character #47*0)* while the larvae are universalls recognized bs the presence of dorsal hastisetae & Fig. 8C View Fig ; Supp Appendix S10 [online onls]* character #60*1) &Nutting and Spangler 1969* Ruzzier et al. 2021).
