Preliminary comments on a phylogenetic study of the order Diphyllidea van Beneden in Carus, 1863

The basis for a preliminary analysis of the relationships within the monophyletic Diphyllidae is outlined. Information on morphological characters and their interpretation within a phylogenetic context are presented. A cladistic analysis at the species level was conducted based on a matrix of 21 mor...
