Comments
In both mtg trees the monophyly of
Carsidaridae
and
Pachypsylla
is strongly or very strongly supported.
Carsidaridae
+
Pachypsylla
(Pachypsyllinae)
and
Homotomidae
form a poorly supported sister group in the AN tree and both families are included in an unresolved basal assemblage in the CC tree. In the molecular analyses by
Cho
et al
. (2019)
,
Celtisaspis
(Pachypsyllinae)
is recovered as weakly supported sister-group of
Homotomidae
, rather than
Carsidaridae
, and the monophyly of
Carsidaridae
,
Celtisaspis
and
Homotomidae
is well supported.
Hollis & Broomfield (1989)
listed two putative morphological synapomorphies to link
Carsidaridae
and
Homotomidae
: 1) the presence of a pair of large tubercles on the metapostnotum, and 2) all three ventral sense organs of the metafemur in a basal position. These characters are present also in
Pachypsyllinae
, though the tubercles on the metapostnotum are relatively small in
Celtisaspis
.
Cho
et al
. (2019)
mention the bipartite male proctiger as a putative synapomorphy of
Homotomidae
+
Pachypsyllinae
. As in
Aphalaridae
, the three taxa discussed here form, depending on the
type
of analysis, an unresolved basal (paraphyletic) assemblage or a monophylum with contradicting relationships between the constituent groups. For reasons of consistency, we include the three groups in the single family
Carsidaridae
. The concept of
Carsidaridae
by
Burckhardt & Ouvrard (2012)
is broadened here to include also
Homotomidae
and
Pachypsyllinae
which is transferred from
Aphalaridae
.
