Figure 1

Cladogram of the major lineages of the Lepidoptera and their relationships with Trichoptera and Diptera. The sequence of lineages is adapted from [36–38], with information regarding the characters related to the evolution of female morphology and pheromone chemistry. Monotrysian and ditrysian species have one or two female genital opening(s), devoted to mating and/or oviposition, respectively [1]. The taxonomic position of Lampronia capitella is indicated with an asterisk (*).
