DISCUSSION: Weirauch (2006) placed Dilatops in the Leucophoropterini based on its similarity to the genus Lasiolabops Poppius of Africa and the Indo-Pacific, which also has stylate eyes and feeds on Ficus (Moraceae) , but noted that it does not have most of the characters considered synapomorphies for the tribe. Weirauch (2006) did suggest that the ridges on the claw could be a synapomorphy with Leucophoropterini ( Weirauch, 2006 c: fig. 17), but the presence of claw ridges in members of other tribes (e.g., Pilophorus sp . , Schuh, 1984 : fig. 34) suggests that this is likely not the case. Further, in our analysis of the Phylinae (Menard et al., in press), Dilatops is a sister group to the remaining Phylinae excluding the Hallodapini + Auricillocorini rather than a member of Leucophoropterini (Menard et al., in press), and therefore is moved to the Phylini pending revision of the tribal classification.
