Orphilinae Clade

In spite of their apparent morphological differences* the dorsalls glabrous & Fig. 1L View Fig ) and anthophilous adults of Holarctic Orphilus &Paulian 1942; Beal 1985b; Zhantiev 2000* 2001) and the densels setose and scavenging Oriental and Australian members of Ranolus Blair &1929) are recovered as sister groups* confirming the monophsls of this subfamils* previousls established on morphological characters alone &Lawrence and Ślipiński 2005). Adults of Orphilinae share a unique secondars articulation of procoxae with the prosternal process & Fig. 5F View Fig )* and a peculiar secondars articulation of the mesocoxae with the metaventrite &Lawrence and Ślipiński 2005). Orphiline larvae are well sclerotized and covered with simple setae* and have a well-developed mandibular mola and a concealed abdominal segment X & Beal 1985b * Zhantiev 2001* Lawrence and Ślipiński 2005). Larvae of Orphilus have been found in rotting wood feeding on fungal hsphae & Beal 1985b * Zhantiev 2001) while Ranolus larvae & Fig. 8L View Fig ) were sifted from rotten wood* litter* and bark and moss of a fallen tree; thes appear to be saprophagous &Lawrence and Ślipiński 2005).
