Figures & data

Table 1. Taxonomic changes suggested from the results of the mtDNA genome phylogeny.

Taxon	Current rank	Current inclusion set	Proposed rank	Proposed inclusion set	Notes
Sophophora	Subgenus	Dentissima, dispar, fima, melanogaster, montium, obscura, populi, saltans, setifemur, and willistoni species groups	Subgenus	Acuminata, ananassae, dentissima, dispar, fima, melanogaster, montium, obscura, populi, saltans, setifemur, and willistoni species groups	Elevate ananassae species subgroup to species group; include some taxa previously placed in Lordiphosa as the acuminata species group
Melanogaster	Species group	Ananassae, denticulata, elegans, eugracilis, ficusphila, flavohirta, longissima, melanogaster, rhopaloa, suzukii, and takahashii subgroups	Species group	Denticulata, elegans, eugracilis, ficusphila, flavohirta, longissima, melanogaster, rhopaloa, suzukii, and takahashii subgroups	Remove ananassae species subgroup and elevate to species group
Ananassae	Apecies subgroup	Ananassae species subgroup	Species group	Same	Elevate to species group
Lordiphosa	Genus	Acuminata, clarofinis, fenestrarum species groups	Genus	Fenestrarum species group, nigricolor species complex, ∼60 species not placed in a species group	Remove two subgroups and three unplaced taxa and place in acuminata species group, subgenus Sophophora
Clarofinis	Species group	Clarofinis	n/a		Synonymize with acuminata species group
Acuminata	Species group	Acuminata, basdeni, collinella, hexasticha, hirsuta	Species group	Acuminata, basdeni, clarofinis, collinella, hexasticha, hirsuta, magnipectinata, mommai, stackelbergi	Expand to include clarofinis species group and three unplaced Lorphphosa species; transfer to subgenus Sophophora as species group

Figure 2. Support within the major species groups. The three major phylogenetic studies that we compared our results to are listed as S151 (Suvorov et al. 2022), KVL (Van Der Linde et al. 2010) and DRP (Finet et al. 2021). Several other phylogenetic studies listed in the text were examined (A = Russo et al. 1995; B = Roman et al. 2022; C = Mai et al. 2020; D = Izumitani et al. 2016; E = Conner et al. 2021). The columns in each profile represent from left to right the number of nodes within the group; Robinson-Foulds distance; path distance (PathD); match distance; and UMAST. Green = zero distance or value; light red/light green = medium distance or value (1.0 or 2.0); red = large distance greater than 3.0). See text for discussion of groups of flies in the boxes.
