A morphology-based phylogenetic analysis of the family Phengodidae (Coleoptera) is given. Thirty-six terminals, six genera and 60 morphological characters are included. To test the monophyly of phengodid subfamilies the terminals that belong to superfamily Elateroidea Drilocephalus Pic (Dascillidae), Pterotus LeConte (incertae sedis), Vesperelater Costa (Elateridae), Photinus Laporte (Lampyridae), Pseudotelegeusis Wittmer and Telegeusis Horn (Telegeusidae) are used as outgroups, with the remaining 30 terminals corresponding to 26 specific and four generic levels. The matrix was analyzed under a parsimony criterion under a heuristic search performed in TNT v. 2.0. One parsimonious tree was obtained. In this study two principal groups are recognized in the family Phengodidae. This study suggests for the first time a close relationship between the Telegeusidae and the subfamily Penicillophorinae.
给出了叩甲科（鞘翅目）基于形态学的系统发育分析。分析包含36个终端分类单元、6个属以及60个形态特征。为了检验叩甲科亚科的单系性，属于叩头虫总科的Drilocephalus Pic（沼甲科）、Pterotus LeConte（分类地位不确定）、Vesperelater Costa（叩头虫科）、Photinus Laporte（萤科）、Pseudotelegeusis Wittmer和Telegeusis Horn（沼甲总科）等终端分类单元被用作外类群，其余30个终端分类单元对应26个种级和4个属级分类单元。在TNT v. 2.0中进行启发式搜索的简约标准下对矩阵进行分析。得到了一棵简约树。在本研究中，叩甲科被划分为两个主要类群。本研究首次表明沼甲总科与帚角叩甲亚科之间存在密切关系。
