 | | All families and the main subfamilies of Curculionoidea are represented: Nemonychidae (Rhinorhynchinae, Cimberidinae), Anthribidae (Anthribinae), Belidae (Belinae, Oxycoryninae), Attelabidae (Attelabinae, Rhynchitinae), Caridae (Carinae), Brentidae (Eurhynchinae, Cyladinae, Ithycerinae, Antliarhininae, Apioninae), and Curculionidae sensu lato. |
 | | Phylogenetic reconstruction was done by parsimony analysis of separate and combined molecular and morphological data matrices, and also by bayesian analysis of the molecular data; tree topology support was evaluated, and incongruence between molecular and morphological data sets was tested. |
 | | Within the clade Curculionidae sensu lato the basal positions are occupied by (mostly monocot-associated) taxa with the "primitive" type of male genitalia, followed by the Curculionidae sensu stricto, made up of groups with the "derived" type of male genitalia. |
