Most parsimonious tree from larval morphology, PAUP* analysis. Character state changes on branches are indicated by black bars (synapomorphies) and white bars (homoplasies). Character state matrix and tree statistics included. Pseudocatolaccus asphondyliae is shown as an example of a generic hymenopteriform larva with morphology that fits a hypothetical ancestor to the PLC. Illustrations of Pseudocatolaccus asphondyliae modified from Parker (1924); Chrysolampus sisymbrii modified from Darling and Miller (1991); Aperilampus varians modified from Darling (1992); Moncacon robertsi modified from Darling and Roberts (1999); Orasema delicatula modified from Burks et al. (2015).
