Abstract:Background: The order Lepidoptera has an abundance of species, including both agriculturally beneficial and detrimental insects. Based on molecular data, the phylogenetic relationships of the major subdivisions of Lepidoptera have been investigated, contributing to the understanding of the evolutionary relationships at the superfamily and family levels. However, the phylogenetic placement of many superfamilies and/or families in this order is still unknown. In this study, we determine the systematic status of … Show more
