Megalopsalis Roewer, 1923 View in CoL

Comments: The genus Megalopsalis as currently defined ( Taylor 2013b) is morphologically diverse with few unifying features. The phylogenetic analysis presented above has identified three likely subclades that may also be confidently defined morphologically. However, because the relationships of these taxa have not yet been tested using molecular data, these clades are recognised as subgenera until their significance can be more firmly assessed. This allows their ready discussion and comparison by future authors, without enforcing the use of new combinations until such a time as their validity may be more confidently assessed.
