在cantharid甲虫的相关属或兄弟姐妹物种的界定中仍然存在一些困难，因为传统上分类法和形态学特征尚未更新或引入形态学特征。在本研究中，我们首先使用基于里程碑的几何形态计量学来分析和比较属于Cantharinae三属的九种物种的后部翅膀，以确定该方法是否可以用作可靠的方法。团体。结果表明，属之间后翼的形状差异似乎比每个属中的变化都更可变，并且每个物种的变化彼此不同，如主要成分分析所示。规范变体分析表明，每个属的属和物种之间存在显着差异，这表明后翼形状可以诊断为对Cantharid甲虫的通用和特定鉴定。这项研究为阐明了Cantharidae的分类不确定性，并为进一步研究Cantharid Hind Wing形状的进化奠定了基础。
Abstract There remain some difficulties in delimitation of related genera or sibling species for cantharid beetles, because the traditionally taxonomic method and morphological characters have not been updated or introduced. In the present study, we firstly use the landmark-based geometric morphometrics to analyze and compare the hind wings of nine species belonging to three genera of Cantharinae to ascertain whether this approach may be used as a reliable method in the study of the taxonomy of this group. The results show that the shape differences of the hind wings among genera seem more variable than that within each genus, and the variations for each species are different from one another, as shown in the principal component analyses. And the canonical variates analyses show that there are significant differences among the genera and the species of each genus, which demonstrates that the hind wing shape can be diagnostic for both generic and specific identification of the cantharid beetles. This study sheds new light into clarifying the taxonomic uncertainties of Cantharidae, and lays a foundation for further studies on the evolution of the cantharid hind wing shape.
