Conocephalinae View in CoL Group

As in our prior work ( Mugleston et al. 2013, 2016), the well-supported Conocephalinae group contains the primarily New World tribe Phlugidini (currently seen as a tribe in Meconematinae ) and the monophyletic subfamily Conocephalinae . This group diverged from the sister Tettigoniinae group about 95 MYA. By 85 MYA, the ancestor to the Phlugidini dispersed to the New World and eventually gave rise to that clade. The Conocephalinae are Australasian in origin, but have had numerous oceanic dispersals giving this large subfamily its current cosmopolitan distribution.
