A hypothesis on Colocasiomyia phylogeny and
species groups corresponding to the taxonomical groups of
their host plants[after Sultana et al.(2006)with modification
]. The cladogram was obtained based on 62 morphological
characters. The members of the Colocasiomyia
cristata species group visit inflorescences of the tribe
Colocasieae (sensu Mayo et al., 1997, Araceae), the C.
baechlii species group to the tribe Schismatoglottideae
(sensu Mayo et al., 1997,Araceae), the C. crassipes species
group to Michelia species (Magnoliaceae), the C. toshiokai
species group to the tribe Homalomeneae (sensu Mayo et
al., 1997, Araceae) and the C. zeylanica species group to
Pinanga species (Arecaceae). Stamenicolous species;
pistillicolous species;each alphabet (a-f)indicates cohabiting
species in the same host plant. |
