“…The first two groups are recovered as sisters in Analysis 3, in agreement with Alarie and Nilsson (1997), Alarie and Delgado (1999), and . Methlini is consistently placed sister to the tribe Bidessini in a derived position in all trees, and not related to Hydrovatini, as suggested by Wolfe (1985Wolfe ( , 1988.…”

“…The most basal clades of both groups belong to tribes Hyphydrini, Hydrovatini, and Laccornini, the latter two also considered basal within Hydroporinae by Burmeister (1976), Wolfe (1985Wolfe ( , 1988, Alarie and Harper (1988), Wolfe and Roughley (1990), and Alarie (1991). However, the largest tribe, Hydroporini, is not found to be monophyletic in any of the trees, but groups into four main clades: the Hydroporus group, the Graptodytes group (sensu Seidlitz, 1887), the Hygrotus group, and the two Australian genera (Paroster and Necterosoma).…”

“…Medially, each mandible bears a small tooth‐like retinaculum. Many Hydroporinae lack mandibular setae, a proposed synapomorphy of the subfamily (Wolfe, 1985, 1988). However, all Vatellini examined possess a medial fringe of setae and a medial patch of setae on the ventral margin (Figs 11, 12).…”

“…230). The prosternal pore (Wolfe, 1985, 1988) in most Hydroporinae is located at or near the anterolateral apex of the prosternum (where the anterolateral margin of the prosternum meets the pronotal epipleuron) (Fig. 18).…”

Members of the tribe Vatellini occurring in the New World and south-east Asia are revised. A cladistic analysis of the tribe is presented including all New World and south-east Asian species and several species of African Derovatellus Sharp. The results indicate that Mesovatellus Trémouilles is nested within Derovatellus , that Vatellus Aubé is nested within Macrovatellus Sharp, and that D . ( Varodetellus ) Biström and Derovatellus are not mutually monophyletic. Therefore, the following genus-group synonymies are formally recognized; Mesovatellus and D . ( Varodetellus ) = Derovatellus ( syn. nov. ) and Macrovatellus = Vatellus ( syn. nov. ). Derovatellus floridanus is elevated from status as a synonym or subspecies of D. lentus (Wehncke) to species status ( stat. nov. ). The following eight new species are described: Derovatellus roosevelti , D. spangleri , Vatellus drymetes , V. amae , V. annae , V. pilacaudus , V. wheeleri and V. maculosus . The following species-group synonymies are formally recognized: Derovatellus ibarrai Spangler 1966 = D. floridanus Fall, 1932 ( syn. nov. ); and Macrovatellus rudis Sharp, 1882 and M. marginalis Sharp, 1882 = Vatellus lateralis (Sharp, 1882) ( syn. nov. ). A detailed revision of the morphology of members of the tribe is presented along with the description of an abdominal gland system (the ' speleum ') that is a synapomorphy for the Vatellini. Keys to species and type information, diagnoses, descriptions, distributions and phylogenetic information are provided for each extant New World and south-east Asian species in the tribe.

“…The genus is presently included in the tribe Hydroporini (Nilsson 2001), though several independent studies based on adult (Roughley and Wolfe 1987;Wolfe 1988;Miller et al 2006) and larval ) morphology strongly suggested a position of Laccornellus outside the Hydroporini, more closely related to members of other, more ancestral tribes such as Methlini, Laccornini, and possibly Hydrovatini. The genera Laccornellus and Canthyporus Zimmermann are postulated to be very closely related phylogenetically (Roughley and Wolfe 1987;Nilsson 1991).…”

The second and third instars of Laccornellus lugubris (Aubé) are described and illustrated for the first time, including detailed morphometric and chaetotaxic analyses of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal segment, and urogomphi. Laccornellus Roughley and Wolfe shares with Canthyporus Zimmermann a similar shape and secondary setation of the last abdominal segment, the absence of secondary spine-like setae on the lateral margins of the parietal, and the presence of well-developed spinular pectens on the ventral surface of the femora (this last character also is shared with Laccornis Gozis). On the other hand, larvae of Laccornellus differ from those of Canthyporus, Laccornis, and Hydrovatus Motschulsky in the presence of secondary pores on the ventral surface of the prementum and of secondary setae on the tibia, metatarsus, and anterodorsal surface of femur. The known distributional range of L. lugubris is considerably expanded.
