subfamily MYCETOPODINAE Gray, 1840: cladomics
     2 genera

Cladomics Summary

number of species = 6 (7 total)
number of subtaxa (rank: genus) = 2
analyzed in 10 cladograms in 7 publications
maximum number of terminals in an analysis = 2 (mean = 1.1, median = 1)
maximum number of subtaxa (genus) = 1 (mean = 1, median = 1)

Basic Monophyly

number of cladograms that test basic monophyly (i.e., more than 1 included species) = 1
maximum number of included terminals = 2, (mean = 2 median = 2)
maximum number of subtaxa (genus) = 1 (mean = 1, median = 1)
proportion of cladograms that support basic monophyly = 1
