| Abstract: | Abstract. A cladistic analysis of the Trogidae using eighteen adult characters resulted in a monophyletic group from which the genera Glaresis Erichson, Afroglaresis Petrovitz and Cryptogenius Westwood are excluded. The Trogidae as here defined comprises three genera, Trox Fabricius (with two subgenera, Trox and Phoberus Macleay), Omorgus Erichson (with three subgenera, Omorgus, Afromorgus subg.n. and Haroldomorgus subg.n.) and Polynoncus Burmeister. |
