 | | The infraorder is supported by a few synapomorphies showing a high level of homoplasy, such as the articulation of the larval mandibles and abbreviation of the costal vein in the adult wing, (139, 190), and has been criticized on these grounds (60). |
 | | Blaschke-Berthold (8) analyzed relationships of Bibionomorpha and found seven synapomorphies for the group (excluding Axymyidae) and relationships among the families that differed considerably from those found by subsequent workers (139, 190). |
 | | A clade (Neodiptera) containing Brachycera, Bibionomorpha, and Psychodomorpha (except Psychodidae) is supported by four synapomorphies of the arrangement of the muscles and sclerites of the cervical region. |
