Journal ArticleDOI

Distal leg morphology, subgenual organs and host detection in Stephanidae (Insecta, Hymenoptera)

TL;DR: The authors' observations provide circumstantial evidence that female Stephanidae detect substrate‐borne vibrations when searching for hosts, and characters of the distal leg elements and the SGO suggest a basal position of Schlettererius and Stephanus within Stephanidae.
Journal ArticleDOI

The first complete 3D reconstruction of a Spanish fly primary larva (Lytta vesicatoria, Meloidae, Coleoptera).

TL;DR: The first detailed anatomical study of a primary larva of Meloidae is presented and it is conceivable that a phoretic behaviour is secondarily lost, together with some but not all morphological modifications related to it.
Journal ArticleDOI

†Kinzelbachilla ellenbergeri – a new ancestral species, genus and family of Strepsiptera (Insecta)

TL;DR: In a cladistic analyses of 82 characters of adult males and additional characters for females and immatures, †Kinzelbachilla is placed as sister group of all remaining strepsipterans except for †Protoxenos, followed by †Cretostylops and †Mengea as the third and fourth branches in the stem group, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative study of head structures of larvae of Sphindidae and Protocucujidae (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea)

TL;DR: The data were analyzed cladistically to reconstruct a reliable reconstruction of cucujoid interrelationships, and found that the families Endomychidae, Coccinellidae and Nitidulidae are more closely related to the monophyletic Cleroidea, than to other cucujoids groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regular ArticlePhylogenetic Relationships of the Suborders of Coleoptera (Insecta)

Rolf G. Beutel, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2000 - 
TL;DR: Many different larval character transformations take place in the earlier Mesozoic within the suborders of Coleoptera, and the monophyly of all four suborders is supported.
