“…In the present study, the phylogenetic relationship of the representatives of the superfamily Hemiuroidea was not highly supported in the ML tree based on 28S rDNA dataset. However, the topologies obtained in the ML and BI trees were in general congruent with those obtained in previous studies (Pankov et al ., 2006; Atopkin et al ., 2017; Sokolov et al ., 2019, 2021; Faltýnková et al ., 2022; Pantoja and Kudlai, 2022; Louvard et al ., 2022 b ). As the molecular data of members belonging to genera within the subfamilies Dinurinae/Mecoderinae ( Dinurus , Ectenurus Looss, 1907, Paradinurus Vigueras, 1958, Erilepturus Woolcock, 1935, Qadriana Bilqees, 1971, Allostomachicola , Mecoderus , Stomachicola , Tubulovesicula ) are largely unknown, only a few available sequences with similar length to those of Stomachicola were retrieved from the GenBank and included in phylogenetic analyses in this study.…”
