Resumen:
The genus Cenophengus LeConte (1881) includes 27 species, distributed
from southern United States to northern Costa Rica. In order to test the
monophyly of Cenophengus, a cladistic analysis based on 81 morphological
characters, 28 species of Cenophengus and 27 outgroup species was
conducted. A clade supported by three synapomorphies corresponds to
Cenophengus as a monophyletic group according to the relationships
obtained under both equaland implied weights. The systematic relevance
of the coding of the characters from the wing is discussed and the
sequence of the character state transformations for the veins (radial
twenty [r3], posterior radial twenty [RP] size, and anterior cubital
veins [CuA]) is optimized in the cladogram obtained under implied
weights. Cenophengus species are distributed in the Nearctic and
Neotropical regions, and particularly in the Mexican Transition Zone,
where their greatest diversity is found. (c) 2021 Elsevier GmbH. All
