“…(), Vilhelmsen (), Schulmeister et al. (), and Sharkey and Roy () critically examined previously used characters and added more characters based on newly published data. Over the past decade, phylogenetic analyses of the order Hymenoptera were conducted and relationships within symphytans were well resolved (Sharkey et al., ; Klopfstein et al., ).…”

The phylogeny of the superfamily Pamphilioidea is reconstructed using morphology and DNA sequence data of living and fossil taxa by employing two phylogenetic methods (maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference). Based on our results, the monophyly of Pamphilioidea and Pamphiliidae are corroborated, whereas two extinct families, Xyelydidae and Praesiricidae, are not monophyletic. Because members of Praesiricidae together with Megalodontes form a monophyletic group, we propose that the paraphyletic Praesiricidae is synonymized under Megalodontesidae (syn. nov.). The origin of Pamphilioidea is hypothesized to be as early as the Early Jurassic. To better understand morphological evolution in the early lineages of Pamphilioidea, ancestral states of the first flagellomere and the first and second abdominal terga are reconstructed on the morphology-based tree. In addition, three new genera (Medilyda, Brevilyda, Strenolyda) with five new species (Medilyda procera, M. distorta, Brevilyda provecta, Strenolyda marginalis and S. retrorsa) are described based on well-preserved xyelydid fossils from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of north-eastern China.

“…Although the relationships of the Platygastroidea to other parasitic Hymenoptera remain unclear (Ronquist et al ., 1999;Dowton and Austin, 2001;Sharkey and Roy, 2002;Austin et al ., 2005), the monophyly of the superfamily is undisputed. The evidence supporting this comes from two unique character systems within the Hymenoptera; a modification of the abdomen into a pumping organ used to change the hydrostatic pressure of the haemolymph to assist with ovipositor extension and retraction, and the sensilla of the female antenna (Masner, 1993(Masner, , 1995Austin et al ., 2005).…”

Phylogeny of the platygastroid wasps (Hymenoptera) based on sequences from the 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA and cytochrome oxidase I genes: implications for the evolution of the ovipositor system and host relationships

The Platygastroidea are a diverse group of mostly small to tiny wasps, the common biology for which is endoparasitism of insect and spider eggs. No analytically-based phylogeny exists for the superfamily, and the current suprageneric classification is flawed in part because of its reliance on homoplasious and pleisiomorphic morphological characters. To determine platygastroid relationships as a basis for investigating host and ovipositor evolution, phylogenies of > 70 in-group species (representing 55 genera) were reconstructed by parsimony and Bayesian methods using three molecular markers; the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I and the nuclear genes 28S and 18S rRNA . The results strongly support the monophyly of the superfamily and one of the two families, Platygastridae, but the Scelionidae are most likely polyphyletic. However, within the Scelionidae, there is a well supported 'main scelionid clade' that contains the majority of genera assigned to the family. At the subfamilial level, both putative subfamilies of Platygastridae, the Platygastrinae, and Sceliotrachelinae, are likely to be polyphyletic. Within the Scelionidae, both the Teleasinae and Telenominae are monophyletic, but the Scelioninae is clearly not so. The current tribal classification for the Scelionidae is in need of major reassessment because no tribes, with the exception of the Scelionini s.s ., were found to be monophyletic. Further illustrating the problems associated with the current classification is the nonmonophyly of a number of genera, namely Opisthacantha Caloteleia , Telenomus , Trimorus , Teleas and Idris. Analysis of ovipositor evolution in the superfamily revealed that the Ceratobaeus -type ovipositor system is ancestral; however, this trait was lost prior to the evolution of the main scelionid clade, for which the Scelio -type ovipositor system is ancestral and defines a mostly paraphyletic assemblage. Ancestral state analysis indicates that the Ceratobaeus -type ovipositor was subsequently re-evolved in the main scelionid clade, representing a possible contradiction of Dollo's law. Previously, the tribal placement has been used to predict the host associations of genera for which host data were unavailable. However, the fact that most tribes are not monophyletic throws into doubt any such speculation based on the current classification.

“…While Ichneumonoidea and Aculeata were recovered as monophyletic, Proctotrupomorpha and Evaniomorpha were not. A subsequent study with modified wing characters showed even less resolution (Sharkey and Roy, 2002). Recently, Rasnitsyn and Zhang (2010) proposed that Evaniomorpha (sensu lato) were not monophyletic and divided them into three distinct lineages, Stephanomorpha (Stephanoidea), Ceraphronomorpha (Ceraphronoidea, Megalyroidea and Trigonaloidea), and a reduced Evaniomorpha (sensu stricto) that includes just Evanioidea.…”

a b s t r a c tThe Hymenoptera -ants, bees and wasps -represent one of the most successful but least understood insect radiations. We present the first comprehensive molecular study spanning the entire order Hymenoptera. It is based on approximately 7 kb of DNA sequence from 4 gene regions (18S, 28S, COI and EF-1a) for 116 species representing all superfamilies and 23 outgroup taxa from eight orders of Holometabola. Results are drawn from both parsimony and statistical (Bayesian and likelihood) analyses, and from both by-eye and secondary-structure alignments. Our analyses provide the first firm molecular evidence for monophyly of the Vespina (Orussoidea + Apocrita). Within Vespina, our results indicate a sister-group relationship between Ichneumonoidea and Proctotrupomorpha, while the stinging wasps (Aculeata) are monophyletic and nested inside Evaniomorpha. In Proctotrupomorpha, our results provide evidence for a novel core clade of proctotrupoids, and support for the recently proposed Diaprioidea. An unexpected result is the support for monophyly of a clade of wood-boring sawflies (Xiphydrioidea + Siricoidea). As in previous molecular studies, Orussidae remain difficult to place and are either sister group to a monophyletic Apocrita, or the sister group of Stephanidae within Apocrita. Both results support a single origin of parasitism, but the latter would propose a controversial reversal in the evolution of the wasp-waist. Generally our results support earlier hypotheses, primarily based on morphology, for a basal grade of phytophagous families giving rise to a single clade of parasitic Hymenoptera, the Vespina, from which predatory, pollen-feeding, gall-forming and eusocial forms evolved.
