Monophyly:
Known formerly as the
Synemosyninae
, this lineage includes ant-mimics (
Synemosyna
,
Fluda
,
Erica
) and beetle-mimics (
Cylistella
). The close relationship between these groups was not expected before the use of molecular data, but the clade has been consistently found in analyses (
Maddison & Hedin 2003
; Maddison
et al
. 2008). Although all simonellines have many modifications towards mimicry, they differ among species, and it is still not clear which morphological characters could be considered as synapomorphies for the whole group.
