Phylogeny of Gryllacrididae

The results of ML and BI phylogenetic analyses was shown in Figure 9 . The Ultragryllacris lineage was recovered as a sister to Capnogryllacris in ML and BI trees. Homogryllacris yunnana XZ 489 also clustered together with two other Homogryllacris species , and then with Phryganogryllacris xiai . Our mitochondrial phylogenomic data recovered the monophyly of Homogryllacris , Furcilarnaca , Ultragryllacris , and Capnogryllacris , which is consistent with the result from the former study by Liu et al. (2022). The relationships among eight genera of Gryllacrididae were as follows: Camptonotus + ((( Phryganogryllacris + Homogryllacris ) + Furcilarnaca ) + (( Eugryllacris + Ocellarnaca ) + ( Ultragryllacris + Capnogryllacris ))) ( Fig. 9 ). According to the modern classification of raspy cricket, the family Gryllacrididae is the largest group, with 120 genera and 911 species ( Cigliano et al., 2022). But we only recovered the relationship of eight genera. A comprehensive phylogeny of Gryllacrididae based on more extensive geographic sampling and larger-scale molecular data is needed.
