Іs clytini monophyletic? The evidence from five-gene phylogenetic … 195

The first clade includes the largest genera Neoclytus Thomson, 1860, Clytus and
Xylotrechus, as well as their allies (e.g., Brachyclytus Kraatz, 1879, Cyrtoclytus Ganglbauer,
1881, Cotyclytus Martins & Galileo, 2011). The second clade unites such large genera as
Chlorophorus, Demonax, Rhaphuma, Plagionotus, Megacyllene Casey, 1912 and their
relatives (Epiclytus Gressitt, 1935, Placosternus Hopping, 1937, Sarosesthes Thomson,
1864, Clytocera Gahan, 1906, Rhabdoclytus Ganglbauer, 1889). Each of these clades has
very high statistical support of the aLRT test. For the first clade SH=98, and for the second
SH=99. This gives the reason to consider each of these clades as separate tribes: Clytini, trib.
sensu nov. and Chlorophorini, trib. nov. Both tribes are related to Anaglyptini, forming a
monophyletic superclade, which I consider in the rank of supertribe Chlorophoritae,
supertrib. nov.
