Abstract
BOCAZ-TORRES, Patricia; SEPULVEDA-ZUNIGA, Einer; ZAMORA-MANZUR, Carlos and PARRA, Luis E.. Phylogeny of the genus Syncirsodes (Lepidoptera: Geometridae). Rev. Colomb. Entomol. [online]. 2016, vol.42, n.1, pp.75-80. ISSN 0120-0488.
In this study, the phylogeny of species in the genus Syncirsodes Butler, based on morphological characters, was determined. Species included were: S. distictaria, S. hyadesi, S. primata, and S. straminea. Twenty-seven morphological characters of adult external and internal structures were used, with principal emphasis on male and female genitalia and metafurcasternum. A parsimonious cladogram (L = 51, CI = 0.94, RI = 0.83) was made. The phylogenetic hypothesis suggests two groups of sister species: S. distictaria + S. straminea and S. hyadesi + S. primata.
Keywords : Morphological phylogeny; Metafurcasternum; Parsimony; Ennominae; Chile.
