Summary
A phylogenetic analysis of 29 morphological characters of larvae, pupae, and adults for the 22 nominal genus-group taxa of Triplectidinae implies that the three tribes Grumichellini (including Atanatolica, Grumichella, and Triplexa), Hudsonemini (including Condocerus, Hudsonema, and Notalina) and Triplectidini (including Notoperata, Triplectides, and Westriplectes) are each monophyletic and the latter two are sister tribes. The other 13 nominal genus-group taxa are probably synonyms of these genera. At least 69 of the 124 known species of the subfamily are included in Triplectides, suggesting a need to recognize 17 or more subgenera within it for conceptual and predictive purposes.
