Abstract

Phylogeny of the representatives of three tribes, Harpactorini, Rhapidosomini and Tegini from the subfamily Harpactorinae has been studied and their relationships analysed of the genera and tribes. Analysis of 58 characters for 57 species and two outgroups indicates that the subfamily Harpactorinae is monophyletic with hexagonal cubital cell on forewing and cylindrical head. Within the subfamily Harpactorinae, the tribe Harpactorini got recovered as paraphyletic group and the tribe Rhapidosomini and Tegini as monophyletic. Besides their generic and tribal relationship, insights on radiation of foliage feeding sticky bugs from the primitive raptorial bugs got also reflected.
