I investigated the phylogenetic relationships within the New World Blepharida and among related genera, using sequences of the Internal Transcriber Spacer 2 (ITS2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA and sequences of the COI and COII genes of the mitochondrial genome. Cladistic analyses were performed using parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods. These methods generated almost identical topologies using the combined data sets. The analyses suggest that Blepharida rhois, the type species, should be separated from the New World Blepharida and that the New World Blepharida might be congeneric with closely related Notozona. Also, according to this phylogeny, all of the New World Blepharida species that feed on Bursera (Burseraceae) form a single monophyletic clade, with the Afrotropical species forming its sister clade. The analyses also identified four main groups of species within the New World Blepharida.
我利用核糖体DNA的内部转录间隔区2（ITS2）序列以及线粒体基因组的COI和COII基因序列，研究了新大陆Blepharida属内以及与相关属之间的系统发育关系。使用简约法、最大似然法和贝叶斯方法进行了分支分析。这些方法使用合并数据集生成了几乎相同的拓扑结构。分析表明，模式种Blepharida rhois应与新大陆Blepharida属分开，并且新大陆Blepharida属可能与亲缘关系密切的Notozona属同属。此外，根据这一系统发育关系，所有以橄榄科（Burseraceae）的裂榄属（Bursera）植物为食的新大陆Blepharida物种形成一个单一的单系分支，非洲热带物种形成其姊妹分支。分析还确定了新大陆Blepharida属内的四个主要物种组。
