subfamily MONOCONDYLAEINAE Modell, 1942: cladomics
     6 genera

Cladomics Summary

number of species = 18 (18 total)
number of subtaxa (rank: genus) = 6
analyzed in 40 cladograms in 23 publications
maximum number of terminals in an analysis = 3 (mean = 1.13, median = 1)
maximum number of subtaxa (genus) = 3 (mean = 1.13, median = 1)

Basic Monophyly

number of cladograms that test basic monophyly (i.e., more than 1 included species) = 3
maximum number of included terminals = 3, (mean = 2.67 median = 3)
maximum number of subtaxa (genus) = 3 (mean = 2.67, median = 3)
proportion of cladograms that support basic monophyly = 0.33

Rigorous Monophyly

number of cladograms that test rigorous monophyly = 3
(Rigorous monophyly refers to cladograms with terminal species representing more than one subtaxon (genus) taxon and at least one rigorous outgroup (family).
maximum number of included terminals = 3 (mean = 2.67, median = 3)
maximum number of subtaxa (genus) = 3 (mean = 2.67, median = 3)
proportion of cladograms that support rigorous monophyly = 0.33
