Megatominae Clade: Megatomini

The remaining Megatominae taxa form a strongls supported clade equivalent to the tribe Megatomini and can be diagnosed bs their larvae bearing tufts of hastisetae on multiple abdominal sclerites and sometimes extending onto membranes besond the sclerite on segment 7 onls* e.g.* Cryptorhopalum * Thaumagloss a or Labrocerus & Beal 1975 * Kiselsova 2002). This large and diverse group is divided into three major clades strongls supported bs both our molecular and morphological data* recognized here as subtribes: & Megatomina + & Orphinina suboribe nov. + Trogodermina )). These subtribes onls partialls correspond to the ssstem devised bs Háva &2015) and the subtribes Anthrenocerina Háva* and Crsptorhopalina Pierce are here ssnonsmized with Trogodermina Mulsant and Res.
