6th International Congress of DipterologyPhylogeny of the BombyliidaeTrautwein, M.D. (1), B.M. Wiegmann (1) & D.K. Yeates (2)(1) Department of Entomology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, 27695,USA(2) CSIRO Entomology, Canberra ACT 2601 AUSTRALIAThe Bombyliidae are among the largest and most diverse asiloid families.Their striking diversity contributes to the complexity of determining theirevolutionary relationships by using comparative morphology alone. Ourcurrent molecular study aims to confirm, test and further resolve thehigher-level classification within the Bombyliidae. We sequenced 28Sribosomal DNA and the entire nuclear gene CAD for more than 80 taxa,representing all of the major subfamilies. Based on parsimony andbayesian analysis, we assess support for the monophyly and placement ofcurrently recognized subfamilies, including the enigmatic Mythicomyiinae.Key Words: Bombyliidae, Asiloidea, phylogeny, molecular systematics∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗275
