4.3.8 | Clade G: Glodianus group

This small clade included five exclusively Neotropical genera in the analyses of S17: the three genera formerly assigned to Townes' Glodianina plus Polyphrix and Eknomia. In our study, a clade of the ‘Glodianina’+ Eknomia was once again recovered (albeit with relatively low support; BTP= 60, SH-aLRT = 94.8); in addition, Polyphrix was sister to a small subclade including three other Neotropical genera: Diapetimorpha , Debilos and Cryptoxenodon . The former two were included in S17 but not assigned to any particular genus group as their placement was unstable across the different analyses (either as their own clade or as part of the Lymeon group). Supeleto, Santos, Brady, and Aguiar (2020) described Cryptoxenodon and used Sanger sequencing and morphological data to show it was unambiguously the sister group to Debilos , and this three-genus clade appears as firmly placed in the Glodianus group in our analyses.
