A phylogeny of the aquatic moth subfamily Acentropinae (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

The majority of moths are terrestrial throughout their life cycle. An exception is the subfamily Acentropinae (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), a diverse group of aquatic moths comprising nearly 700 species. Acentropinae represent the largest lineage of moths with at least one life stage adapted to an aquatic environment. Despite their unique biology, their evolutionary relationships remain poorly understood. The most comprehensive study on acentropine phylogeny is over 70 years old and predates the use of modern analytical methods. Few studies since then have attempted to reconstruct the phylogeny of Acentropinae, and those that did are limited in taxon and character/gene sampling. We tested hypotheses of acentropine relationships by reconstructing a genus-level phylogeny based on 360 loci and 22 genera of Acentropinae. Our phylogeny provides strong support for the monophyly of Acentropinae, a basal division between two tribes, Argyractini Lange, 1956, and Acentropini Stephens, 1836. The tribe..., , # Data from: A phylogeny of the aquatic moth subfamily Acentropinae (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

## Description of the data and file structure

We used anchored hybrid enrichment to test hypotheses of Acentropinae (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) relationships by constructing a genus-level maximum-likelihood phylogeny based on 360 loci and 22 genera of acentropines.
