The object of this study is to determine evolutionary relationships among the typhlocybine tribes (9 currently recognized) and to provide a comprehensive phylogenetic classification and to develop tribal keys and descriptions that will facilitate identification of the typhlocybine assemblage. I am using morphological and genetic characters (16S rDNA and H (3)) to accomplish this task.


Keywords: Phylogeny, Typhlocybinae
