A2 - PB - Y1 - 2020 LA - eng AB - Phylogenetic relationships of theSphaerophorialineage (SphaerophoriaLe Peletier & Audinet-Serville and related genera) were inferred based on molecular characters, with the specific aim to infer the phylogenetic placement of the AfrotropicalSphaerophoriaspecies andLoveridgeana beattieivan Doesburg & van Doesburg. Three molecular markers were used, i.e., the mitochondrial protein-coding gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and the nuclear 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA genes. TheSphaerophorialine...
