Phylogenomics of Anthomyiidae and a revised classification of Scathophagidae (Diptera: Calyptratae)

The Anthomyiidae have been recovered as paraphyletic with regard to the
Scathophagidae in several recent molecular analyses and need resolution.
We address this issue by producing a robust phylogeny of the family
Anthomyiidae, based on a broad sampling of anthomyiid genera and over 300
single-copy orthologous loci captured using anchored hybrid enrichment
(AHE). Most notably, the phylogenomic analyses provide strong support that
family rank for Scathophagidae renders Anthomyiidae paraphyletic. We
propose a revised classification with a basal Coenosopsiinae Bailey
& Michelsen (subfam. nov.), including the Neotropical Phaonantho
Albuquerque and the Neotropical and southern Nearctic Coenosopsia Malloch,
which emerge as sister taxa and together comprise one of the two earliest
diverging clades; a Hyporitinae (stat. rev.) including Hyporites Pokorny
and the predatory genus Alliopsis Schnabl & Dziedzicki; and a
Scathophaginae (stat. rev.) relegated to subfamily rank within
Anthomyiidae which includes the former subfamilies Scathophaginae and
Delininae as tribes Scathophagini (stat. rev.) and Delinini (stat. rev.).
