Comments

In both mtg trees the monophyly of the subfamily is very strongly supported. Hollis (1987) provided a morphological diagnosis and analysed the intra-subfamily relationships. In the mtg analyses, with five of the eight recognised genera included, Mesohomotoma is in a moderately supported basal position, whereas in the morphological tree it is the sister taxon of Paracarsidara ; and apart from a reasonably well supported clade comprising Protyora + Tenaphalara + Paracarsidara , the relationships between the other genera are only poorly supported.
