Data from: The revival of tribes: An analysis of Platystomatidae (Diptera, Tephritoidea) phylogeny based on external morphological traits

In this study, we present the first phylogenetic hypothesis for
Platystomatidae based on morphological evidence. The matrix consisted of
194 characters, 129 terminals, five outgroups, and 124 ingroups. Based on
this dataset, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis using a traditional
search with the Tree Bisection and Reconnection (TBR) algorithm under
implied weighting with k = 27. A tree with a length of 2437, a consistence
index of 12, and a retention index of 45 was recorded. The family was
recovered with three synapomorphies, and four subfamilies were identified.
Trapherinae was recovered with two tribes: Trapherini and Xirini.
Plastotephritinae included two tribes: Agrochirini and Plastotephritini.
Scholastinae was recovered with one tribe: Scholastini. Lastly,
Platystomatinae was recovered with six tribes: Rivellini, Achiini,
Platystomatini, Angitulini, Lamprogastrini, and Senopterini. In addition,
a classification is proposed upon the hypotheses obtained, and a new genus
and new species, of Trapherinae, are described: Trapheroplatystoma
Rodrigues, Carvalho & Mello gen. nov., T. cabila Rodrigues,
Carvalho & Mello sp. nov. Additionally, an update key to the
genera of Trapherinae is presented. Lectotype male and one paralectotype
male are herein designated to the species Eopiara chrysoptera Frey, 1964.
