Comments
In both mtg trees, this poorly supported monophyletic or paraphyletic family contains two strongly supported monophyla and one monotypic taxon which we rank as subfamilies:
Euphyllurinae
,
Liviinae
and
Neophyllurinae
subfam. nov.
There is no strong support for any particular sister group relationship, although in a backbone constraint analysis in
Percy
et al
. (2018)
,
Neophyllurinae
subfam. nov.
grouped more strongly with
Liviinae
than
Euphyllurinae
Crawford, 1914
. The family as defined here differs from that of
Burckhardt & Ouvrard (2012)
in that it lacks the
Diaphorinini
(minus
Megadicrania
and
Psyllopsis
, which are included here in the
Euphyllurinae
). Adults of
Liviidae
often have a crown of densely spaced apical spurs and immatures have multiple lanceolate or sectasetae.
