Phylogeny of 6 Sudila species was discussed. Four groups were recognized as follows: (aulacophorum + jacobsoni) + kandiense + ((alphenum + paralphenum) + bidentatum). The Lasioglossum (Evy laeus) Zeiosoma group was regarded as closest to Sudilu tentatively. Cladistic analysis was used and the 2 species pairs, jacobsoni-aulacophonm and alphenum-paralphenum are very probably monophyletic and some dendrograms were presented. Cephalic polymorphism exhibited in Sudila species was noted and that recorded in some other Aculeata were reviewed. A role on the functional significance in male cephalic polymorphism was discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
